Hi, ilikepolkadots!
I was a push-through person, too. My pushing through didn't last as long as yours did, though! I was only able to keep up with my daily activities for about a week after my concussion before I totally crashed.
I was fortunate that my doctor recognized the concussion and got me resting fairly early on, but the care I got other than that was very frustrating and incomplete.
Trust me, you are not alone. As you read the forums, you will see that many of us share (or shared) your symptoms and your desire to pretend that nothing is wrong!
It's a good place to get support and ideas.
Welcome to the forum!
