Default So sorry to hear it

Hello Girl from Norway,

Welcome to NeuroTalk -- this is a good place.

I don't know much about problems from multiple concussions. I've had about 2 in my life so far and the most recent one was 3 months away.

I've been learning from this board that though I may heal, it seems once we've had head trauma, we are more prone to it -- just like what you wrote about. And life may now be learning to live around the things that trigger it-- just as you did and do.

Someone else pointed out the vitamin stickie at the top and I am a believer in nutrition. I follow the regimin posted there and added supplements to it.

Tell us anything more you want about your symptoms etc and more people here will weigh in.

Sincerely

pm

[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.
