Sleepybo19,

No one brain injury is like another due to personal makeup and the injury itself.

I can tell you that my daughter was cleared to go back to college and went into a very loud class after studying for a few days straight. She literally collapsed. She had to be taken to the hospital. 4 months later was again cleared to go back to her college classes. Had a hard time memorizing but stuck with. Within 3 1/2 weeks ALL of her symptoms came back.(Fatigue, head spinning, head aches, depression, light sensitivity, over stimulation, cognitive issues, sleep issues--I can go on.

These symptoms have not cleared up in 2 YEARS. They have gotten much better but she is still out of college. She still cannot run (had a scholarship to run XC). She was a valedictorian in high school and now she can not remember what she reads….SO BEWARE.

What happened to her may not happen to you because of individual differences. But set backs can happen and they can be much harder to overcome.
