BallGirl33,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles.

Did you mean you are a freshman in high school? That would make to 14 or so. This is a difficult time to be struggling with a concussion since your body and brain are going through a lot of changes.

I struggled after receiving a concussion in soccer at the start of my sophomore year. Math had been my best subject. I even challenged freshman Honors Algebra I and passed it. I was taking junior level math when I suffered my concussion. I went from being the math brainiac to struggling to get by in a short period of time.

Math can be a struggle because of the need to process multiple steps in a formula, etc. The mental load can be tough.

What kind of care have you received sop far? What have doctors told you?
Do you have a sports trainer at school? What did he/she say?

Besides the memory and processing issues, what other symptoms are you having?

There is lots of good help here.

My best to you.
