I just had my concussion 3 weeks ago. It happended during a baseball game when i was sliding into 2nd base and got hit in the head. Even though i had a helmet on it didnt stop the concussion which is my 1st problem how could it happen when im wearing it? This is my 3rd concussion all from baseballs to the head previous 2 w/o helmets on.

Welcome to the forum JT! You've gone through a lot with the concussions. I hope you'll start feeling better as more time passes.
There are others here who have gone through similar experiences. I hope you'll make some friends and learn how to cope with the pain and other symptoms. Take care and feel better soon. ![]()

Hi JT,
I'm sorry you find yourself here, but I'm glad you found it too. It sounds like you are having some challanges. There are a lot of people who have been going through this stuff for a long time here. They have a lot of information to share and advice to give. Are you seeing a neurologist about your concussion? Are you still going to school right now? Do you have any extra help at school? Are you taking any medications? Please keep us posted. Welcome,

yes i see a neurologist previously for migraines, she didnt know what to do after prescribing me all different medications that didnt work. Topamax, Pregnazone taper, furucet. Im going to a concussion specialist for the impact testing this thursday. I just generally feel depressed sleep, fatigued, irritable, break down crying in front of my mom, and the constant pain from the headaches which none of the medicine help. I just wanna know when im gonna go back to school if im on rest period the rest of this week and i take the test this thursday. Im so tired and stressed out.

Please just rest and try to chill, wait for the coming test. You need to give your head time to heal. I would also like to say that its possible that the topamax is maybe the wrong medication for the migraines. So hopefully if it doesn't start working soon, they will try a new medication. Lots of people with migraines do well on depakote ER so that might be a good one to try. I take imitrex for my migraines when they happen. Donna |
