Hello everyone,

I have browsed this website for several weeks and have learned so much from everyone's posts. Thank you so much. Especially helpful is the link for Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury, by Dr. Glen.

I thought I would share my story. I was injured playing golf on July 2 of this year when an errant tee shot (golf ball) struck the side of my head. After stitches and a Cat Scan and diagnosing a concussion, the hospital released me. Two weeks after the accident nausea set in and I didnt seem to be getting any better so my doctor ordered an MRI, which was negative. It is two months since the accident and I am still having issues with nausea, ,headache, being tired all the time (even after 10 hours of sleep), lack of appetite, and having a general uneasy feeling most of the time. I have been to my primary doctor, an ENT, neurologist, and more recently a sports concussion specialist. They administered an IMPact test and I will be reevaluated in two weeks. My biggest frustration besides being tired most of the time is how little it takes to set me back. I am a very active person by nature and this is killing me! For instance I mowed just my very small front lawn on Friday and paid for it feeling headachy, fatigued and cold on Sat. and Sun. Is this normal? I've read some posters saying that they have gone to neuropsychologists. Would this help? I am going back to work after being off for two weeks and am very nervous of over doing it.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for your previous posts. This website has been extremely valuable to me. I hope everyone finds the path to peace and wellness!
