Margarite,
Your 3experience with doctors and CT's etc is normal. Even the last comment from the doctor who said, <the only thing I have been told is that I'm either imagining it all or that I will just have to learn to deal with it because it might not ever go away.>
The latter part of that line is the correct one. You have Multiple Impact Syndrome. You may get better but it is quite likely that you will be extremely sensitive to even very minor head impacts or jostles. I can not even shake my head "No."
The concussions you had in a short period of time could have been life threatening.
There is an important thing for you to do. Get a copy of your medical records and make sure the doctors have listed concussion in the diagnostic codes. It would be 850 or a similar number or simply concussion.
If concussion is not listed as a diagnostic, ask the doctor why and if he will put concussion or probable concussion in your record. Otherwise, the lack of concussion leaves the possibility of somatoform (imagined). The worst thing that can happen to the medical records of a patient with PCS is a diagnosis of somatoform.
You will also be wise to consider than any symptoms you have at a young age will be magnified greatly as you age into the 40's and older. A little prevention in youth is worth a fortune in less symptoms in older age.
