Default Goodness!

Hello and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Goodness, you're only 19 and have had a lot of concussions. You probably have multiple concussion syndrome.

Here is a link about that. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/92189-overview

Your symptoms are telling you something. Your injured brain is trying to heal and your sports are not going to be condusive to healing.

You only get one brain. I hope you will rethink your involvement in the contact sports you enjoy.

Read the vitamin sticky at the top and start with that and good nutrition for some brain healing.

All for now

[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.
