Thanks for the advice And input everyone
Arty, I was suing flag football on August 11th and took an elbow to my face and had a severe headache and was nauseated afterwards didn't pass out but continued to play
Went into deep depression and major anxiety for the next 2 weeks and I started feeling like my old self again so I decided I would play again, well bad idea I took a couple of elbows to the face and a knee to the neck and it I returned back to how I was the past 2 weeks
Went to the ER and had a CT said it was clean and I had PCS, told me to follow up with my regular doctor, went and saw him two days later and he said I had a concussion along with PCS, and started me on a dexamethasone to try to reduce any swelling if still there and temazepam for sleep
About a week later I found myself in the ER with severe suicide thoughts the ER doctor was of no help he said he's never heard of anything like this coming from a concussion, but they brought in a counselor and she said she isn't familiar with concussions but did some research and said it was common if you hurt your frontal and temporal lobes, so the ER doc dismissed me and said to take my temazepam twice a day
Couple days later went by and I was told by my regular doctor I shouldn't have been taking it twice a day (30mgs by the way) and also I quit taking the dexamethasone like 4 days in because it made me feel even worse
Also I'm starting to think I may have had another concussion not too long before those two I was at lake in June with some friends and were jumping from a rock about 10-12 feet and I was doing flips and the way I came into the water I smacked my face and it whipped it back and had the normal symptoms severe headache, tired, wasn't fully there, and somewhat was wanting to throw up
So there's pretty much my background
