Fell off a horse in late winter of 2009 blacked out for a couple seconds, had amnesia for 10 hours (still don't remember this time), had 2 CT scans, 2 MRI's, 1 MRA all negative. Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance. Migraine triggers are: light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights) sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds) temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat) activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled) pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails) lacks or quality (food, sleep, water) tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness) |

I probably wish I didn't listen to the first physician I saw at the ER.
This is what I was told "Concussions are very common, and heal very fast, try to work your way up and if you get headaches stop, exercise is fine but do not hit your head hard again" I went home and played soccer for a few hours, felt fine. Hung out with friends, wrestled a bit, fine. Next day I wake up with a horrible headache, and that was it. I will probably never be able to completely trust a physician again. |

I I hit my head slightly on a wall almost exactly 7 months ago. I have had some improvement since the initial injury, but I am nowhere near what I thought I would be at this time. In the very beginning I was very sensitive to light and noise but the worst of the symptoms were the headaches. The noise and light sensitivity is still there and somewhat improving. My headaches though are still just terrible day to day, it is affecting me in a way I never thought possible. I was a very active 30-year-old running nearly 25 to 30 miles a week. I also played soccer twice a week. It's very frustrating not being able to do any of those things I enjoyed so much. Right now I would just like to be able to go a couple days without a pounding headache. trying to stay positive that things will get better soon, but not expecting it. For now just continue to work full-time and trying to take it easy as much as possible. For me right now the hardest part is the depression, some days aren't as bad as others, but those bad days I have, are really bad. For now just going day by day and hoping one morning I wake up and the headache is gone and doesn't come back. Hopefully soon I will be able to post my success story on here and give others some hope. To all those suffering out there, I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Cheers for now.
