Thank you!! I suffered my first concussion when I was 12 years old playing softball. I took a line drive straight to the temple, the only thing I remember was waking up on the bench. I had a few more due to sports, three due to car accidents and the most recent one was a 'double tap' concussion. I sat down in a chair at a hockey game and it flew backwards and I hit the back on my head on a brick wall behind me. I wasn't too effected at that time, but the next day I simply bumped the top of my head while getting into my car and lost consciousness. I've been told there is no permanent damage and I go in for check ups quite frequently. Symptoms: anger issues, which have been extreme in the past but with therapy I've been able to keep it under control, daily headaches, vertigo, mood swings, confusion, memory loss, insomnia...
