Day 5 of a headache
Guys I'm not sure what happened. I'd been improving but suddenly I'm getting headaches every day now. I feel like I've had a set back but I can't think of anything that could have caused it. I'm only working half-days and napping when I get home. I've been doing this for two weeks now and yet suddenly I'm having this problem. I think my speech is getting bad again. I have to think about what I want to say. I'm so confused. But as luck would have it I have a follow up appt with my doctor today in about an hour. So I guess we'll see.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
