Hi folks,
I found myself seeking out answers on the internet when I came across this forum. I am two months in following my injury and am feeling super down. Although, I am trying my best to be optimistic it is still hard to adjust to the change in lifestyle. I have also had to miss out on several special events/occasions, another which is coming up this week. Mainly, my closest friends and family live out of town so I use to regularly travel out there to visit on weekends and now I cannot do that anymore. They do visit me, but as they are the ones with small children it is a bit more difficult. I've had to postpone a fitness/training plan. Which is difficult when you end up physically doing the opposite of pushing yourself. I try to reintegrate into the social world, but it has had to be in very small doses. The worst part is that although you are feeling fine, it is only after that you feel the surge of symptoms hit- and then its too late. I optimistically make plans and have had to break them. I feel guilty expressing these feelings when many of you have suffered for years, but this is still my own individual battle, so I mean no disrespect and am sorry for all of your struggles. I guess I am still in the adjustment stage. And it is so frustrating. |

Hello, I'm writing because I am a very worried PCS sufferer.
My symptoms have been present for the past 7 months and I am starting to doubt if I will ever recover. I am only 21 years old and live for sport, mainly soccer. I have been browsing the forum and noticed your comment. If you could get back to me with any news on how your condition has altered since posting in 2010 I'd really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I sincerely hope you have made a full recovery or are at least happy in your life. Jake, UK Quote:

jake,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. None of the posters on this thread have been around in years. But, you still have plenty of people here to help you. As an avid soccer player, I bet you have suffered a fair number of concussions and a magnitude more sub-concussive impacts. This makes your situation a challenge. It is really counter-productive to try to compare individual outcomes. Even the researchers can not find a reason for the disparity in recovery times. Please tell us about yourself, your symptoms, struggles and what you have been doing to help your brain recover. My best to you. |
