Hi friends,

im a 21 year old male,I suffered a concussion last September playing rugby, took time off, then continued to play through the fall of last year, spring and summer of this year. While admittedly i noticed my vision had trouble tracking things, and my grades dropped, i never thought enough about it unfortunately because i was still in the top shape of my life, and attending college.

In august while playing in the tournament i must of suffered another concussion beacause since then ive had a myriad of problems like:never ending dull headache then can become terrible with over stimulation, vision problems, insomnia, light sensitivity, fog, depression and anxiety and scary physical ones like loss of balance and had to withdraw from my senior year of college, losing my friends and life as i know it.

Ive been to a variety of Drs. and specialists and am undergoing some balance therapy, message therapy and cranial sacral therapy. I am taking mega men multivitamin, B vitamins and fish oils. tried various pain meds and anti ds, little relief.

What im asking for from the community is just some support or hope , do you think i to can recover to from this , has my continual playing screwed me for life? i can no longer exercise besides walks sometimes and just dwell all day on my symptoms im just scared friends, and i cant relax. i know i have only been dealing with these new symptoms for about two months, is it possible ill feel better by 6? even a year? Will i ever be able to be in a crowd of people again without a screaming symptoms? im just terrified i will not get better.
Thanks for sticking through this post if you did,

My dear friends, id love to talk to anyone whos going through this or has been through it with some relief.

Sincerely,
RJ
