Hello from the great white north..which is Canada. I found this site and thought i would register and see what i can learn about my concussion. Long story short, slipped and fell backwards on some ice, split the top of my head open, 15 staples, out for maybe a minute, vimitted, dizzy now, lightheaded, very tired, irritable (More than usual LOL), and a few other weird sypmptoms. I am off work until i am all better due to the fact that i am a long haul truck driver. Noone, including myself wants a 80000 pounds steel monster on the road with these issues. If you have any comments or suggestions, chat me up!

Wow!I can see why you shouldn't work until you are completely better!

I am In Michigan and this has been a significant winter....only 3 days in January so far about 32 deg.....and lots of snow and ice.

I hope you feel better soon, I had some of the same issues from concussion after I was injured from a rear end collision in 2004.
