I think I'm really, really, super happy I found this forum...! But I have a question for PCS sufferers with multiple concussions.

Short background: I've had three major concussions: 1.rope swing gone awry that resulted in dropping a good distance and landing on cement (blacked out, not sure how long), 2.car accident where my head went through the windshield (short black out period) and 3.slipped and fell between boulders while hiking (no blackout).

My husband says to me the other day, after watching a short blurb on athletes and concussions, "You know, after that last crack to the skull you took at Slippery Rock (appropriate name, I know), you just haven't been right." So, I started to think about my last concussion, with my other concussions...and all the mental and physical BS I have been dealing with for years. Did some research on PCS and multiple concussions, which finally led me here. So much of what I'm reading from everyone in this forum is making so much sense! TY! Unfortunately though, it would appear that the depression, migraines, anxiety, mood swings, inability to focus and be productive, cognitive deficits, etc, blah, blah, blah...the overall frustration of not being who I used to be...might linger....forever.

Has there been any research done on multiple concussions where the concussions weren't a result of sports or war injuries? And if so, could you point me to that research? Even clinical cases? If not, I understand. I've exhausted most resources and from the gist of it, I've come to understand that one can only treat the symptoms, more than likely, the symptoms will persist and quite possibly, I could be facing even more problems as I age. Yay. Having gone from successful to struggling since my last concussion, I've had a very hard time coming to terms with my deficits. At least now, I think I may have the reason as to why I'm struggling so badly.

Thanks for listening to me vent, too.
