Question: i am suffering from "post concussion syndrome" according to physicians. my car was stopped to turn and i was rear ended by a dodge XXXXXXX truck driving in excess of 50 mi/hr upon impact. i am unaware of how long i sat in my car dazed or unconscious when i realized what had happened. i wa 'zombie' like. did not know or recall what to do as cognitive abilities were "gone".after 15 min. of sitting that i recall i called my husband.at the same time "good samaritans" stopped to ask if i needed help. when my husband asked me where i was i did not know."g.S." took telephone and told my husband- i was 1 mi. from our home. went to local e.r. and they took flat x-rays , cervical.when i told md i had trouble walking he ordered flat x-ray -lumbar. no testing of head trauma despie not being able ro recall name & other info without much trouble. i have had severe frontal(across forehead)pain down the left side of my head, all around back of neck. my left eye feels as pressure is behind it and left side of skull hurts to the touch. I "zone" out for few min. at a time and pick up where i was before episode. personality is different, irritable, almost combative.Iam writing as headaches are no better and are noe moving up from my neck in the back. this is my third concussion over an 8 yr period and despite no let up in pain and eye symptom, head mri was normal and i know i am not being taken seriously as this was due to car accident, the other two concussions were not and treated much differently. i was married 5 days before the accident, have a very supportive husband, but i did tell him that with my "not being myself for so long" and sleeping 14-20 hrs. some days, he could get an annullment of our marriage as "i am not the person he married and feel as though I never will be again." i do not want this, neither does he but i am desperate for help.i realize concussions take time to recover from however in the other 2 i had i never suffered headaches nor before in my lifetime. i feel as though i am in a fog, my speech is frustrating as i cannot remember simple words in conversations, my memory is terrible!, i cannot pronounce words that rolled off my tongue easily.I seen 2 neurologists, the first immediately changed demeanor when he heard "accident" and sent me on my way with something like deal with it, it may take 3-6 mo. the second meurologist gave mr script for imitrex which does not help. i need help as my body is telling me something is wrong!

my head trauma was exactly 5 months ago (on 9/3/2011.) i have never had migraines, in fact, can barely recall a mild headache in my life. i do not have sinus problems and never had. no bloodwork was done at all. i had to wait 3 weeks to get a script for a head mri.
normal life stresses. eyes checked, almost three years ago after concussion to check retinas
