I read your post because in have an 8 year old son who has been suffering from PCS since Jan 2012. He had a fall playing soccer. He has come a long way since then and continues to improve but he's really not 100% still. He suffered so much for the first 4-5 months and mainly rested his head. He had intense headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vision issues. He did manage to finish the second grade with the help of a tutor.

When the summer hit, he was able to play golf and tennis. It was so great to see a smile on his face most of the day but he would mainly complain at night having headaches. He still had his great personality and was the same sweet boy.

He started the new school year and is able to complete a full day which is huge! The teachers and nurse are so supportive and give him breaks when he needs it.
He is out of contact sports and focuses on golf and tennis. He's not a video/tv kid and prefers sports and outdoor activities so these sports have worked well.

Over the past 8 months we have seen great concussion specialists in the Boston area with good advice. Even though we did try the chiro, acupuncture, massage, in addition to the vitamins, hydration, healthy eating,etc., I think at the end of the day, it's really rest and time! I really think everyone's body heals when they are ready and in this case it's just a lot of rest and time. We've all had to learn a lot about patience in our family.

We support our son immensely and would do anything for him. It breaks our hearts for what he has gone through and what he still struggles with. He's not there yet, but I know in time he will be. It's good to keep positive and see improvements over time.

I really wish you the best!
