I'm back to work almost full time and back doing most of my regular activities.
With that said I still get headaches and I'm still prone to noise sensitivity. I also get tired easily. I've long suffered from migraines so some of my headaches certainly could be from that. But my neurologist is of the opinion that my concussions weren't severe enough for me to still be experiencing symptoms. I don't think I'm making these things up. So who do I believe? My doctor or my body?

In my humble opinion believe yourself. My primary thinks im full of it and said i need to get over it. Ive been suffering from pcs since january 2014 and people on hear much longer than me. I also got re-injured multiple times by hitting my head everywhere and i must wear sun glasses in doors and im sound sensitive with vestibular issues and some breathing problems. Saw a neurologist who has seen many like me and told me he has had many patients who have taken 2-3 yrs and some that never 100% recover but symptoms are minimal and they deal with it. Short span concussions magnify the problem by 10x and everyone is different. Honestly if you didnt lose consciousness they will not take you seriously. Good luck to you and we both need to stop hitting our heads.
