Default Not nuts after all????

Howdy all. I have been researching PCS, and came across this board. Great to be able to get some help here.
Background required I guess. Well, I started rodeoing when I was 18, and retired when I was 32. In those 14 years, I suffered 7 known concussions. Probably more, but the medics were a waste of time, so I never got any official diagnosis.

The last couple of years have been rough. Huge personality changes, depression, mood swings, really dumb now, can't concentrate on anything, and pretty much all other symptoms.
Of course my first thought was depression, but the meds have had little to no effect. The hardships this has put on my marriage, has turned me to looking a little deeper into my condition. And here I am.
Honestly, I am a little happier just thinking that there may be an actual medical reason for my condition.

I hope to talk with some of you, and offer any help I can.

Joey

Hello Joey

Yes it helps to have a reason for something. I am in the same boat.

But concussions aren't only reason for me.
