Lucy,
Thank you for your kind reply. I have read some of your posts and see that you are the classic example of reinjury and you certainly understand by personal experience the cummulative effects of multiple concussions. Did you have a car accident 30 years ago after the head injury in hockey when you where 16? I still think you have some healing potencial, since you keep reinjuriing yourself, even as recently as a few weeks ago. It seems that any small jarring to the head can set you off because of those two significant past injurys that have left you very vulnerable. I am hoping you can have at least a years time of no injury so you can get to feel a little better. It does seem that rest and low anxiety living is the best therapy. You seem to have a great attitude and a sense of humor is so great to have and probably very therapeutic. My son has a good sense of humor too. Keep on plugging at it, I think things may settle down in your head in a bit of time if it's not banged again. Do you have trouble in the back of cars etc. I asked the concussion specialist we recently saw about the dizziness and why it is such a classic symptom. He said they believe it is when the pain is shaken up it damages the vestibular nerve and when this nerve is injured, the patient has all this dizziness. When the nerve heals, it goes away. When a patient gets symptoms back again, it is a sign that they are not healed yet and need to back off. Anyway thanks for staying in touch.
