My daughter was seen by the pediatric neurologist yesterday and although I really wish I could agree with the assessment, based on what we have been going through I just can't.

My daughter has had at least three concussions and third resulted in the full spectrum of really scarey sx and took two months to resolve. Fast forward three years, and three days after doing a 10k run she had a terrible headache, which over the course of the ten days that followed looked in every way like what we went through three years ago. Pretty much every sx of concussion a person could have.

The neurologists assessment is that she was not actually concussed by the run, but due to being stretched to thin all around (too much stress, the run, not enough sleep) it all came together to cause her brain to return to this "pattern" it went into after her last concussion.

Her assessment was also that she didn't really have PCS the last time, rather that due to a hx of migraine in her grandmother she is genetically susceptible to getting into this "pattern". She is 100% confident my daughter will return to her previous level of functioning and she would be more worried if this was due to a hit to the head.

The fact that the headache did not come on for three days was one of the reasons she gave for the jarring from the run not actually causing a concussion.

I'd love to believe that what we are going through isn't another concussion but it has been exactly like re-living what we went through three years ago and it just doesn't add up.
