Yes, she is over doing it. The neuro-psych assessment will give you some ideas of what is happening.

With Post Concussion Syndrome, or Multiple Impact Syndrome, there is very little the doctors can do to give you a more specific diagnosis. Understanding the symptoms is the first step in trying to heal.

Have you downloaded Dr. Glen Johnson's TBI Guide at www.tbiguide.com ?

Print it out for your mom.

What are your most problematic symptoms?

What do you do to accommodate your symptoms?

What changes have you made to lower stress in your daily life?

How is you school work going?

Describe a typical day, from waking up to going to bed, and describe how you sleep.

Tell us everything you can. You might ask your mother to add to your list. She sees things that you don't.

There are lots of things you can do on your own without a doctor to help. An Occupational and/or Speech Therapist will teach you these things at an enormous cost of money and time. Many of us have already been there and done that.

I would be surprised if there are not lots of suggestions for dealing with your symptoms. Continuing to bang your head into the same wall of frustration is counter-productive. Learning how to work around your problems can lower stress and give your brain a rest so it can heal.
