I will post my story under my chat room name Faeriedoctor. Faeriedoctor is 'one who heals with herbs'.

I am a survivor. I was in a car accident on Friday Dec 3 , 1999 and struck 3 vehicles at 30 mph when my brakes failed. The airbag did not deploy and I was definately in trouble. I was not transported to hospital as I was in shock and the emt's would say how are you and I would say I am fine how are you?

They left me on a curb on route 65 north of Pittsburgh. I borrowed a firemans phone and somehow recalled a friends phone number to come pick me up. THe next day I could not speak. being saturday my friends decided to wait til monday to get me to go to the ER as maybe it will 'clear up on it's own' eh errr ahhhh nooooooooooo.

The Emergency Dr cat scanned me said your okay it will take 2 weeks then you'll be fine yutta yutta blah blah.

10 months later I am not fine. I felt strange from the moment I stepped out of my vehicle. Nothing mattered much for a few months.

I grew up in a holistic medicine atmosphere. I found myself feeling those swings in physical. Like all the gas has gone from your tank. I began eating honey. It helped I began listening to my body and my cravings. Someone who was once in belief that if it isn't meat and isn't potato don't put it on my plate was eating fresh salad and fruit and craving it!Then one day about 6 months later honestly all things changed. I must have passed fifty gallons of fluid overnight and the next am felt better and clearer than I had in months.

Must have been a natural diet lasix version. It sure helped!

Word recall, eyesight doubled speech impaired I strove on. I was told by my neurologist that as long as I was not in a technical field recovery would be 2 years. Well HTML internet specialist is highly technical. Oh well so much for that job. Also started an animal rescue in April 1999. SO I still save animals just slower.

Work gone family estranged. I am swearing and anger is surges and always overreactive. Then gone like nothing happened. Brain pressure is fun!

I am struggling every fday to retain regain and learn. Video games helped eyesight, chat rooms help psyche and anything that works DO IT!

Always happy to talk.
