Default 5 months post-concussion: sudden symptoms

Hi Folks,
I'm 40 yrs old and I've had 2 concussions recently. The first one was in 11/09. I hit my head on the concrete while skateboarding and loss consciousness briefly. The second one was in 10/10. I knocked heads with another skater, but didn't lose consciousness.
After the second one, I started feeling like myself again after about a month. I didn't take any time off work, but I tried to take it easy. I quit skateboarding, etc.
I really felt normal for all those months after the concussion, but now, 5 months later, I'm having concussion symptoms, and they actually seem worse than right after the accident. My symptoms are dizziness, fatigue, poor motor skills, no libido. It feels like I've got a terrible flu, although the normal flu symptoms aren't present.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? How long did it last? What treatments have been effective?

I'm going in for a CT scan today.
