Hi msnyder : )

Dealing with a concussion and all the symptoms is hard enough for an anybody, let alone a child. I can't image what it's like to see your daughter suffering.

Having a change in character is a process I think everybody dealing with a head injury experiences to some degree. It's hard to keep your cheery disposition when dealing with constant or intermittent symptoms, hopefully as her symptoms subside she'll get back to her normal self.

She definitely needs to see somebody that specializes in dealing with the symptoms she has, not sure the names of the specialists and that but definitely ask questions or bring written questions when you see whichever specialist you see. Doctor's etc. rush too much sometimes and you can forget to explain things thoroughly or inquire about important things.

Here's a link I dug up from a post made years ago, I believe it was Mark who found it. Thanks for putting this up, I found reading it to be super helpful.

It's called 'tbiguide', if you google it it should be the first link that comes up. I still can't post links on this form.

Extra knowledge about what you or somebody you know is dealing with can make recovery a bit less difficult and hopefully quicker.

With concussions every one is different and everybody recovers from them differently so its almost impossible to put a timeline on recovery. Believe me its been one of my biggest frustrations. I wish her as quick a recovery as possible and that you're able to find the right people to help her recover
