Re: I have Post-concussion syndrome ~ Ask me a question
that's a pretty safe car, you musta been driving really bad to get hurt in it
 Quoting: Boris the Cat


It was during a blackout

Which made the event even more traumatic

I 'came too' when the car slammed into a concrete ditch after falling 60 feet off the road
 Quoting: Open Your Eyes OYE


blackout drunk? you shouldn't have been driving

Re: I have Post-concussion syndrome ~ Ask me a question
you no longer drive right?
 Quoting: Boris the Cat


No

I think my subconscious mind is still afraid to
 Quoting: Open Your Eyes OYE


no one bought you another nice car?
 Quoting: Boris the Cat


No

I was living alone at the time

And I was using rentals cars for a few months after that

I crashed at least three of the rental cars, during the four months after 'the event'

So, OP, having completely overcome the same problem, and being a counselor, I offer free talk therapy if it would help.

Seriously.

When I hit the bottom of the concrete ditch, I woke up and some force directed me to deal with the situation

I revved the engine and what was left of the car was able to drive up the other side of the ditch

Then the car went through a fence and got stuck in an open field

All tires were flat and the car was badly smashed

Some force prompted me to call a tow truck and I made it home that night by 6AM

I am glad you survived! God must have a really special purpose for you here on earth. hf xoxo~

What was the speed involved? Was the impact from the rear, front, or side? Do you suffer from PTSD?

Not sure what the speed was.

The impact was in the front

And yes I suffer from PTSD

But would never admit it to myself until now

Go back to your auto insurance carrier at the time and see if they'll cover " bills". I'm in MA so it's always different here but I work at an insurance agency. They should cover any bills from the therapist/councelor, copays, etc. There may be a statute of limitations though. 2 years here.

Look into Hyperbarics Oxygen therapy for a natural approach to healing. Also, TBI or PTSD support groups. Your brain suffered a contrecoup injury...the frontal/temporal lobes were impacted as well as the back of the brain-occipital, maybe parietal. This explains the change in senses.

Sleep, exercise, and diet are also important.

I suffered a concussion, but never lost consciousness. The longer you were out makes a difference in long-term recovery.

Re: I have Post-concussion syndrome ~ Ask me a question
Yes OP realizing that there is a problem IS the first step in recovery. I guess it is true what they say about God watching-over babies and drunks?

Maybe work on the drinking, your B vitamins could be shot to hell, and of course your liver might not be real happy either.

Hope your recovery is a good one.
