Hi all, looks like a great forum here. My head has been knocked around in the last few years and am waiting for things to return to normal - if they ever will. First concussion in nov 08 off of a horse. Second one feb 2012 at work - ice off the roof. Third concussion Nov 2013 playing volleyball. I thought it was a pretty safe sport to play. Never imagined someone spiking the ball in my head! The one that has me most concerned happened 6 days after the volleyball one. More snowy/ ice from the roof at work. Well here we are Sept 2014 and there are many days each week that I feel as bad as I did right after the last one.

Dizzyness, extreme fatigue especially if I do anything. Used to go to the gym 5-6 days a week before the third one. Memory problems as well.

Really ready to start feeling well again. It is a funny thing not being able to see what is wrong with you. Some people just don't seem to get what is going on because they can not see it.

Anyway, thanks for your time......... Rob

Hello Rob,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

I just wanted to let you know we have a very active
Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome Forum

There are some really helpful links at the top of that forum in the "Sticky" information and helpful websites section.

If you repost over at TBI/PCS I'm sure you'll find support and information to help you at this time in your recovery.

take care.

Welcome Rob; it's good to meet you although I'm sorry for the reason that brought you here. I've suffered concussion myself after a nasty head injury, so I certainly can sympathise.

I see that Lara has already given you a link to the Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome Forum, so I hope to see you there soon.
