Alison I completely agree with you. I’m not sure that PCS is taken seriously enough at all. Maybe it’s that word ‘syndrome’ that makes it sound like it’s psychological that makes doctors think that they can just ‘wait and see’.

I had to wait well over a year after I was referred to get into the concussion clinic (they have a huge backlog of patients), after I insisted that my doctor refer me several months after my injury and I was not recovering. I’m 4 years in now, and I believe that had I had more organized care right away I would have recovered better and I would be still working. My GP only has 2 PCS patients so our care isn’t the top priority when so many others have cardiac and diabetes issues…where would you put your excess time to research?…where lots of patients might benefit or where only 2 might? I feel like PCS is an “orphan” condition that doesn’t get the research and time that we need. I also believe that my Dr’s direction to rest in the dark and do nothing wasn’t correct. I wasn’t given a timeline for continuing this and thus I recall it was about 7 weeks before I started moving again. I believe that what is recommended is 1 week rest in the dark and then try to get back to “life”…did resting too long prevent me from healing well? Who knows.

I completely agree Marina. The more we all share the better it is for us all.
