Chemar, Thanks for posting this article.

Great article. I have a collection of others like this.

The truth that stands out in this article is the permanence of concussion. There are many therapies to lessen the symptoms or help the patient work-around the symptoms, but there is no magic pill.

Those of us who are ten or twenty years Post Concussion can attest to the long term problems.

Preventing a subsequent concussion is of paramount importance. The 'sub-concussive' impact is just starting to get mentioned. Many of us know how minor this 'sub-concussive' impact can be. Like a quick head twist. Towel drying ones hair too vigorously. A simple head of a soccer ball. A head slap to a football helmet. A hockey puck to the face guard. A jarring bad step. Even a violent sneeze or cough.

There have been a number of news stories going on this past week about the new Washington state law (Zak's Law) that hopefully will lessen the number of athletes who return to play too soon after a concussion. California is working on two laws. Other states are in the same process.
