paige.elizabeth,

I am so sorry to hear your 'concussion specialist' has made such a comment. He wads totally out of line. You previous concussions do effect your current situation but there is no such thing as a 25% recovery or a 25% chance of recovering to the condition you were in 2 months before your recent concussion.

A concussion specialist who thinks there is value in you being seen every 2 weeks is churning billings. At 6 weeks post concussion, you are still early in your recovery from this last concussion. Seeing a doctor every two weeks just raises the anxiety levels.

Forget what he said and try to go on with as much of your life as possible. Look at your recovery as trends over the next few months.

I suffered a very minor concussion in early October. I was a mess for more than two months after that. I am just finally getting back to where I was last summer. It has been over 4 months for me.

Try to relax and let time heal as best as it can. Can you pursue any part time studies? It would be a good way to start back to school. Consider that you may not be up to a full time student course load. Taking a long term view may help you get to your goal.

And regarding your boyfriend, if your trained doctor can be so far off base, think about how little help your boyfriend is. If he can not be supportive, give him some time to himself. Why try to paddle up stream if you don't have to. A good LTR needs someone who can support you in good and bad.

Back away from the non-supportive types. Regroup and stay away from that dog's knees. Must be a big dog.

My best to you.
