The advice given by previous posters is sound advice. I don't have anything to add except that as a mama, my heart breaks for you and your son. I think that PCS being so widely misunderstood and so hard to live with, is very sad for a child to have to deal with.

My son (only 9) recently got a concussion playing hockey. I'm a PCS sufferer so I've been very cautious with his return to school and he is still not cleared to play hockey. The thought of further damage to his developing brain makes my heart hammer in my chest...

I feel for you. You've come to the right place for answers and guidance.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
