Great question, EddysHead! Remind me how far out are you from your original injury?

I'm trying to understand the difference between creating a new concussion through some previously harmless activity (i.e. riding golf cart) and decompensation.

Is a decompensation a temporary return of symptoms? Or are you actually causing the brain more injury (a new concussion)?

My daughter has experienced this at least twice (recently hit her head getting in a car, exercising too hard in the early stages). Do these events get added to her total number of concussions?

Also, is there a timeframe where the majority of people stop having decompensations?

Is there a way to know beforehand if some activity might cause one (i.e. rollercoaster rides or boat rides)?
