Hi Donna.

That's so sweet of you to chime in. I am doing OK now, but it took quite a while to get over that incident.

I have MS so I see Neuros very frequently. Funnily enough (or unfunnily really), the neuro was really not interested at all with my head injury. Not one doctor, or anyone at the hospital I went to, cared two hoots about the concussion I sustained!

I had a really bad time after the fall..... XRays, CTs, .....trips to the hospital and lots more to my local GP. There were days when I was far too dizzy to function at all. I could not even get to the toilet....my husband had to take me.....wash me.....dress me.....feed me......etc! And that went on for ages and ages!

All through the worst of it my GP was just wonderful. Even so, he didn't even tell me there was such a thing as a Post Concussion Syndrome.

I'm not sure that anything could have been changed at the time, but I suffered for 6 terrible months from the effects of this fall.

Surely some-one could have helped me through the worst of it. It would have been nice to know that help was available.
