Through out my life I've had 10 concussions or more...mostly from skiing. I just had another and hopefully my last. As of right now I'm experiencing post concussion syndrome for the second time and it is completely real and utterly debilitating. For example, I was nauseous and out of it for two or three days and yesterday I felt a bit better so I worked because I thought that "I had to." Today I am nauseous again and feel wrecked.

I've been to many healers including craniosacral specialists, chiropractors who are schooled in craniosacral practices and this past year I went to a functional neurologist who I felt was very helpful. She ran a number of tests to understand how much damage my brain has incurred and deduced that I was a very lucky in the way that for as many concussions I had I wasn't in too bad of shape. I really thought I could be careful out in the backcountry and just ski powder but I was wrong. Now I'm going through this **** all over again and to anyone who has had multiple concussions please, listen to your healers, doctors, friends or who ever...stop doing whatever it is that is getting you hurt. Its not worth it.

In regards to why I liked the functional neurologist compared to getting an m.r.i or c t scan (I've had both and neither gave me any useful information and cost a ****load of money) is because she did real world testing such as motor skills and eye movement. She gave me exercises to stimulate my brain and not pills. I'm very empathetic to your situation and hope you feel better soon.
