random,

(Sorry, that is as good as it gets. My damaged brain can't come close to remembering your whole screen name.)

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your symptoms sound like common Post Concussion Syndrome with a strong dose of anxiety added in. Anxiety is often associated with PCS. I predict the MRI will not show anything wrong. It is extremely rare to image damage from a concussion. It takes very specialized MRI protocols to image concussion damage. But, that's OK. The MRI's are used to rule out serious damage that is rare but can be a big threat to brain function.

I suggest you try to find a concussion clinic with multiple specialists to assess your condition. Many schools with football and soccer teams know where these clinics are. You might ask your school nurse if the school likes a specific clinic. You need to find someone who can understand your symptoms, diagnose your condition and properly report to your school and parents.

At your age, concussions can be more symptomatic as the brain is going through some serious changes, puberty, etc. In some cases, it just takes time for the brain to sort things out. I was in a similar situation at 15. It took about 1 1/2 years to get back to normal.

Please stay in touch. There is lots of good support here. It would be worthwhile for you mother to posy some comments and questions.

My best to you.
