PCS 15 Year Old need advice
to start ill give you a little backround, im 15 year olds and was playing hockey about 4 months ago and got laid out and my mom brought up me having to be careful and making sure i dont feel weird with any concussion effects.... i felt 100% fine and continued to paly i was afreshmen playing varsity hockey. About a week later i took some medicine for headaches and the sun was bothering me no big deal. 2 weeks after this i was still playing hockey and was in a JV championship because freshmen have to play JV and varsity but whatever, some kid was skating down and i hit him.... it was not a big hit whatsoever none of us fell nothing happened but it was helmet to helmet , imeddieatly after the hit i got dizzy and the worst headache..
. i happen to be brought up with a dad who has a love for sports and like any father teaches his son and me being a tough kid pretty much im saying i wasnt gonna be a baby and sit out ... however i did not know anyhting about concussions i just knew people who got them and sat out for a week or two and never thought about them. so i continued playing that day and i was all shaky and had a headache but i palyed through it. i woke up the next day feeling pretty much back to normal so i continued playing hockey for the next 2 full weeks...
after those 2 weeks it was a sunday at my grandmas for mothers day im pretty sure it was and i played baskebtall their and went inside to sit down and boom i was very dizzy/blurrred fuzzy vision all that stuff and it lasted 5 minuntes of me putting down my head i picked it up and i was 100 % fine... i was their telling my parents they said i was dehydrated , then that tuesday at school it was spanish class and i got a really weird weird feeling like i was disconected from stuff and i jut was saying crazy things to my self and couldn't stand still and i felt like i did at my grandmas 4x worse....
i just toughed out the day then after school we all played basketball at a friends house form like 3-8 o'clock with this feeling i kept playing then i got home at 8 and me my mom and brother watched a show called "the rivER" the show was over at 10 and right away after it i stood up to walk to the stairs felt very weird kept walking but as i was half way up the stairs it wasnt good... i felt like i did at my grandmas x10000 and had a panic attack i felt like i was in a dream and didnt know what was happening .... i was screaming that night petrified then the next morning we went to my doctor and i was diagnosed with PCS , now it has been 3 months about im going to a neurologist and my vision is still very off, i get headches, and im light headed alot but i also hacve this really weird feeling of like confusion i would say, and i feel sometimes like everything is a dream and this isnt really hapening....
. like in a bad brain fog i tell my doctor and he says its normal with PCS just to ignore my symptoms.... so ive been doing that fine but i have two questions.... 1.) is this feeling of being in a dream and stuff common from PCS? also i think it can be from my vision being so bad so i panic a little from not being able to see as good for the last months me usualy having 20/20 vision, and also 2.)Will this feeling ever go away? im not a kid to sit here and dwell on stuf even tho i miss playing hockey but all i need to be told is that yes i will be fine with time as my doctor says.... i will sit here ignoring everything till this feeling goes away.... i was talking to a few people at my brothers prom picture gathering and one of their sons had a concussion like mine for 5 months....
i was just wondering if this was normal or atleast a symptom of PCS and i feel like i mix up words alot more now and cant think as straight... well thank you and someone please get back to me and also my dad said i probably had a few concussions in a short period before this i never felt a concusion, he said many football players have the same thing as me that are older that hey had to go through but i kinda feel like no one knows like how bad this feeling is that im going through, im just ignoring it untill it goes away and i dont look for attention my parents know that but i think they think i exxagerate a little on how i feel well someone help me out and thanks!
