January 17 2012 I slipped on some ice in Canada and hit my body hard landed on my back my neck and head violently shock but I got up fast and walked away but felt dizzy for couple hours then that night I felt full blown concussion symptoms. Went to the doctors a week later after symtomps got worst and ct MRI Caime clear doc said take months off. So I layed in a dark room for a week then week in bed felt little better started school February 27th in security officer training for a hospital and then when I ran a pare test obstical course ( full heart rate run and jumps for 4 min) the symptoms Caime back but I still stayed in school. I had dizzy felt cloudy thoughts hard to concentrate, tiredness hard to sleep and sore neck and my right side of the brain paulsated with pain . Well it was a roller coster of symptoms till April 20th I did a PPCT police pressure point tactics of 3 days days of take downs and pressure points to the neck as head etc I passed the course and the test got the job pays 45,000$ a year starting but week after the training I got full concussion symtomps again. This Tim short term memory loss for a 1-2 hours and mahout headache and now anxiety and confussion and pain in my right side of my brain doctor said take 2-3 months off rest no caffeine drugs or Alcohal no heavy excersise or weights and stress. Last Saturday may 6 I was rushed to hospital major headache painful and mem loss for 1 hour and major anxiety . The gave me morphine for the pain and Ibprohine and lazrazopam for anxiety. It's been 5 months now and I get dizzy driving and watching tv and video games ( which I don't do anymore drive or tv) and sun and noise bug me and hanging with my kids too . This is my 6 th concuasion in my life I had 3 from boxing ( I have 18 amateur fights as a teen) and 1 when I was 25 from a Mixed Martial Arts fights.

I made a appointment for a nurologist next month on June 2012. Thank you*

wow I caime along way since my fall how life changed, this year was one of my worst years of my life almost 2010 was the worst thats when I lost my son. This year was health wize awful.

well im about 85% now I get a day of couple hours to a hour of foggyness but no headaches since sept 2012. My memory is little off sometimes but I feel overall great my neurologist said in November that I will heal and be ok and that my 15 or so boxing fights and 3 mma wont give me a deadly brain damage I thought id have but I do take care of myself. I want to lose some weight i gained from the meds

I gained like 30-35 pounds on the meds, all you have to do is tuff it out and take care of yourself take omeg fish oild vitamins b10 and 12 etc etc rest rest rest no excersise no stress.

this you tube video i fell asleep too all year it helped me relax, I want to medatatt and do yoga soon. I know I will have memory problems and some foggyness but im happy im alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TifX6...qAbGNCE7vPPlug

I work out and excerise but i avoid high impact running i jus do light 5-10 min jogs.

man last year I was severly depressed with my PCS i couldnt walk talk I couldnt do anthing but lie in bed I lost my income I lost my job my future plans. I sold my car my tvs my steroes everything of value to servive n pay bills. I lost everything and my wife n family at that time. I though about ending it I was severly depressed with PCS and post tramadic stress from the death of my son in 2010.

well I rode out the storm worked it out with my wife, got my family back, going back to tech school at age 30 to be a auto mechanic and dealing with my left over PCS symtomps which I manage to live with.'

My advice is just tough it out, least your alive and not have a terminal illness that you cant survive. Learn more and read more learn how to help yourself get family n friends to learn about your condition, you may seem fine outside but inside your all messed up I know how that feels people doubt you cause you seem ok but your not.

Thanks for hearing my story, I still have Post tramadic stress disorder and seeking help, I suggest you try Aqua Healing look it up i taken it for 6 months man it felt good

Nice to see you have come back to be with us.

Sorry to hear about the loss of you son. One of the best things to think about with the loss is the many fun times you had with him.

Wish you luck with getting better with you daily life. I do know about going back to school at the same age you are, but it will be worth getting another beginning on your daily living. My husband is currently in school getting a major in his major, hopefully this will be his last time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
