Brain injuries take time to heal. A concussion can take up to three or four years to return to some semblance of normalcy.
I was a teacher, and I pushed myself and the symptoms got worse. Of course, I was unaware early on that I had sustained a tbi.
Teaching with a tbi can be pure torture. I did it for over four years.

thanks that is really scarey. I have been off 5 sweeks now. I may need to stay away a month or two more then. I am 61, by three of four years I will be too old to work! Also I need the money, I can't afford to retire.
Also saw occutpionla heath today, and she was horrible! Thinks I am making it all up!! Like I am just over anxious. So you taught for four years with it, full time??
