First I would like to thank anyone who takes time out of his or her busy schedule to read this post. So thank you and sorry for the miss spelling.

I am 38 yrs old and married for 15 years now to my good-looking wife. I wrestled and played football in high school. I do remember this one game that I did get a concussion because the only reason I knew what happen before the coach or doctor got to me was that a team mate told what I did. I also was hit by a car my senior year crossing the road. About 10 years later another accident when a car ran a stop sign. The latest was a year and 1/2 ago I was in a bad accident and now I am not the same.
I get headaches more frequently on the right front of my head. My speech goes, I lose function of my left side and can barely do anything. If I don't get my wife to talk to me to keep me calm early when I feel the symptoms coming on it gets worse. The symptoms last for about 30 min to an hour and still don't feel 100%. I am worried that one day I wont snap out of it and be normal again.
So I am looking for answers to find out if my fears are true and if so, what can I do to prolong it or prevent it from happening

Thank you
Brad

Welcome to NT

It is good to have you here amongst caring folks. We do understand your concerns.

So sorry you have these problems to sort out. You do have reason for concern. I don't have those problems, but if I did, I would be so worried about everything.

You need good medical attention, advice and answers to your quesitons. Sounds like you are hurt, my friend.

There will be lots of information here to help you, too.

You're certainly not alone. Many others here have been through concussions and life-altering changes, for so many reasons.

Just take it slow and easy until you get things figured out. It'll be okay. You can handle it.

I would suggest you keep a diary of what's going on, complaints, sleep patterns, headache chart, pain scale, medications, exercise, food. Names, numbers, dates, appointments, notes, etc. So many things to keep up with. You may need this info later.

Take care of yourself. ok?
