FYI, Ringette is a form of hockey except with rings and straight sticks rather than a puck a curved stick.

Kayley,

Your neuro is mostly right. The longer the symptoms last, the greater the likelihood that they will be permanent or at least very prolonged.

The better comment is the one about learning to live with your symptoms. As you learn the work-arounds and other accommodations for living with your symptoms and limitations, you will reduce your stresses on your brain. You will find that you can over-come many symptoms with new skill sets.

This getting back to life with a new modified life style will enable you to continue moving forward.

I test at the same level of dysfunction at year twelve as at year one. I am far more functional because I have learned to work and live with my dysfunctions.

You will never be able to tolerate the head injury risks of ringette. That was never a possibility even if you felt like you had a full recovery. Once concussed, always concussed.

Tell us about your most disabling symptoms. Plenty of us will have skills you can learn to live with those symptoms.

We are here for you.

My best to you.
