Car Accident...
 
Hey.. I got my TBI last year.. when I tripped and whacked my head several times, the last stop being a concrete floor.. I also got whiplash and a broken nose. Quite dramatic for a trip.

Last week.. a year and a month after my fall.. when I was well enough to be learning how to drive and pretty much attend education full time.. I was in a car accident.. I now have whiplash again, but all of the progress I've made over the last 13 months have been lost.. I'm struggling to write.. concentrate.. to stay awake, but also to fall asleep.. my headaches are constant again and are much worse.. and my memory... well, yeah, what memory? I think I've gone back to square one.. I can't tie my shoe laces!! I'm so angry.. Please.. someone tell me that I've just took one step back.. and I haven't fallen 13 months back into the past..

yeah itīs still there

once you have a pcs itīs always there

you can hit your head again or go through some stressful situation and the symptoms just come back like that

itīs like a chronic virus. itīs always there and in certain situations it actvates itself and the symptoms show up

scary thing

you have to recover again i guess

thanks.. I really thought I'd gotten rid... I hadn't realized that it would never go. I assumed.. it'd go on it's way. Thanks for your post :)
