Default Is anyone still active? I have this problem too

Hi, I have had this same problem since my third concussion which was back in 2012. I have these exact same aggravations. I get a minor bump to the head or jolt to the body and it sends me right back to PCS or at least that’s what it feels like it does. The symptoms all come back and last anywhere from weeks or even 6+ months sometimes depending on the severity of the bump. Small bumps such as my small child accidentally head butting me can set it off.
Once it all finally calms down I am able to jog and do some light exercise and that is ok. Nothing too strenuous though. I recently had a nice long streak of no issues, maybe even a whole year, and I was getting back into good physical shape and health again finally, and then this past week I got a hard bump from my child and my symptoms are back with full force. I’m so depressed and upset that I can’t stand it. Bad headaches, dizziness, pulsing pressure, strange electrical/tingling feelings that shoot through my scalp and neck, it’s just awful.

Is anyone from this thread still active on this forum? I would really love to talk to someone about it. I don’t personally know anyone that has this issue, so there’s no one I can talk to about it or get advice from. My doctors basically have no answers for me after years of tests. I feel like I’m at my tipping point. No one, not even my wife I don’t think, truly believes me concerning my problem. It is so frustrating. I feel like my boss doesn’t believe me. I feel like none of my friends believe me. Worst of all, I feel like my wife doesn’t even believe me, at least she certainly doesn’t understand the severity of this and just how difficult it makes my daily life. Please, if anyone reads this could we talk a little? Either replying here or email or WhatsApp or I would even talk to a stranger on the phone at this point. Thanks for reading.
