Hi all,
this is my first time posting here. Thanks so much for all of the info you share here - I've been reading it for years. I've had around 15 concussions in my life. The most recent was a few days ago - hit my head pretty hard while getting into my car. I have 2 questions and appreciate any insight.
1. In the immediate aftermath of these injuries (first week or so) I have a hard time processing stress and strong emotions. Any insights about how to help this while it's happening?
2. I saw a neurologist last summer for migraine, and shared my concussion history with him. He asked if I'd ever been knocked unconscious (I have not). He said that since none of my concussions involved loss of consciousness, I was unlikely to have any long-term problems (cte, etc). I'm wondering if others have heard similar- or conflicting- info. I have not had any lasting symptoms over the years and was feeling great before my incident 4 days ago.
Thanks so much for reading. - Tim
