Welcome
Hello Eva,
NeuroTalk is a good place.
There is a forum just for people like you who have PCS -- in the mild traumatic brain injury part here. You can post questions there too and get some answers.
You said you've had at least 4 concussions? Goodness, that's a lot, and you only have one brain.
Like another poster said, you will find other loves in life too. My son and daughter both played soccer, but my son is in college now and has found Ballroom Dance to be a great sport for him. My daughter will be a senior, but she's going to explore more dance in the fall rather than soccer.
Is there a different sport you could try that has less chance of head trauma? Have you ever tried dance? How about power walking?
I am getting better from my PCS, but I feel I will have to be more careful with myself -- forever.
Anyhow, welcome here and take care.

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
