Please send me your feedback.....
Hello everyone,
I took some time out from this site due to the discomfort of using a computer, but am pleased to see some old regulars still writing encouraging, kind and interesting comments.
I cannot believe it has been 3 years since my injury on the 27th. I have learnt so much about coping alone (it truly is a painfully lonely place to be), but really could do with a little support now. My vision, memory, balance, head pain and exhaustion are pretty bad right now.
My question to all is, and I really would appreciate some well thought out feedback.....After having played football and been a dancer for 17 years, I now can no longer build strength or stamina. Why?
I have been trying for 3 years to systematically build my ability to exercise but each time I try (even light walking), my temperature rockets and I start having seizures. The worst part is the pain in my head that can last up to 6 weeks after one bout of gentle exercise. Please tell me what you think.
Kind regards to all xx

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
