Hi Corki,

I had a lot of those symptoms after my concussion as well, so I don't think it is at all uncommon for you to experience those symptoms. It was very upsetting and frightening for me because I didn't know what was happening to me and I feared it might get worse. I had a lot of tingling and numbness in my hands and feet in addition to the symptoms you mentioned. And, sometimes I struggled to breathe in the beginning.

The first few months were the worst, but slowly I am seeing some significant improvement. It took almost nine months for many of those symptoms to resolve, but I still have a ways to go before I'm back to my old self. I'm getting more encouraged as time passes.

For me, it helped to put my recovery in God's hands and trust that He will heal me in time. I had to surrender my fears to Him daily and keep my thoughts on healing. I learned to be more patient with myself and to reach out to others for support and understanding. I'm still a work in progress, but now I have hope again.

I pray that you will find new hope, healing, and recovery soon.

Don
