bballana,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles, especially your concussion history.

It appears you have the idea that losing consciousness has a major impact on your severity of concussion. LOC (Loss of Consciousness) of short duration has no bearing on symptoms. In your case, the most important factor is the number of concussions you received over a short period of time.

Your prior recoveries have no bearing on your ability to recover from this recent concussion. You likely have used up a fair amount of your brain's tolerance for injury and recovery. This makes recovery problematic in that it is likely to take much longer and be less complete.

A first point regarding medical insurance and such. Auto insurance usually includes medical coverage for the occupants of the vehicle regardless of fault. It may have a $5000 limit but can be helpful. It is called occupant medical payments or something similar.

Second, you are still very early in your recovery from such an accumulation of concussions. An upper cervical chiropractor (NUCCA.org) may be helpful due to the fact that the auto wreck likely caused whiplash and concussion injuries.

Getting a good nutritional supplementation regimen started will also help. There are plenty of posts about nutrition here.

You need rest. That will likely be difficult in your mother's crowded home. I wish I had a suggestion there but sorry. Avoid visual and auditory stimulation. There is a post from Dec 20 in the top sticky thread called 'Links, etc. that discusses the suggested protocol for your stage.

It will help if you will tell us a bit about your most problematic symptoms. There are plenty of knowledgeable people here.

My best to you.
