Default How soon did your symptoms appear?

I'm trying to get an idea how quickly symptoms appear for people post-TBI. I myself am trying to remember, but it happened some 36 years ago, and at the time wasn't really told all the things I should have been on the lookout for. I do remember feeling perfectly fine directly after discharge from the hospital, but after X weeks/months the health issues began.

It does take time for brain cells to die, and this is mainly what causes the lead time as I understand it. I've heard anything from a few weeks to a few months. How about you?
