Busy mom needs answers!
Hello!
I have never done this before but I need answers. Back in January, I fell on the ice and broke my sacrum and got an concussion. I have 4 very active sons ranging from 3, 9, 13 and 16 years of age. At the time that I had fallen, my husband was home with a broken leg. The doctor that I saw for the concussion told me that it was minor and to try not to make decisions. For the most part, that didn't work! Week by week I was getting worse and they would check me and send me home with the instructions of lay low and don't make decisions. Right before I had fallen, I had started a job that was assembling thousands of auto parts at home. It required anywhere from 20-40 hours a week of sitting and putting to very small parts together. When the boys were at school, I would sit and assemble my parts. Week by week I got worse until my mom had to take my 3 year old because his sweet sweet voice made me sick. I would get to see him a couple of times a week when other boys were at school and then he would come home on Saturdays. I felt so incompletley incapable of being a mother and day by day I got worse. The first part of March, I pretty much had lost my short term memory and would get sick when all of my boys would talk at once. I went to the doctor for the week so he could check me and my son had received a concussion during wrestling and they were checking to see if he was back to normal. The doc told me to close my eyes and really concentrate. He then told me a list of 4 words that I needed to remember. He turned and continued checking my son and next thing you know, I woke up on the ground. I had passed out from trying to concentrate with eyes closed. The doc really threw me when he started questioning me about wether I was bipolar or manic, I was taken back a bit! Neither I said. He gave me a prescription and said it would clear my mind. I was pretty much a zombie for 2 full days. I was so offended by the doc, I never went back but started to feel better. Fast forward 6 months and I started a business that blew up and got super busy overnite. I instantly was revisited by all of the side affects and really struggle with memory loss. I just had a 5 hour Nero test done and it was very frustrating. Any advice and is it normal to have it revisit 6 months later just because of stress?
Thank you?
Angie
