Hi Benjamin - yes people do recover. I recovered from my hockey injury when I was 16 and then my car accident when I was 21. I was 45 when I knocked my head twice in a matter of only 6 weeks. I thought I had recovered from my first concussion but it seems that when I reinjured myself only 6 weeks later I had not. I have read that it is harder to recover when you are over 45 years old and have been a high achiever. I think I have always expected too much of myself and that personality type does not help with recovery.

Age is on your side! Had I known what I know now I would have been alot more careful and still enjoyed life.

I believe that I am perfectly ok until I get tired -tiredness is my biggest problem as that is when I get all the symptons back.

You just need to be patient and kind to yourself - a lesson I learnt too late. So if it helps I do have some hours of the day when I feel good!!!!!

You are young - you will get better JUST DON'T BANG YOUR HEAD AGAIN!!!
