Hello all, I have been dealing with post-concussion syndrome since October after hitting my head at work. I initially had no symptoms of concussion but about one week later started having dizziness, headache, eye pain, and a very 'weird head' feeling as if I overdosed on cold medicine. I've seen five different doctors (one of whom was horrible and dismissive) but the others all agreed on the diagnoses. I have been trying to work modified hours and keep doing all the things I need to do (I am a single Mom) but am starting to get depressed because the symptoms do not seem to be improving. Upon reading some of the posts I see that lots of people have had prolonged symptoms - something I thought was not that common. I guess I am just looking for support from people who are dealing with the same thing. Thanks everyone!
