This started Saturday and really became noticeable on Sunday...and has progressiveably become worse.
My head is killing me...my eyes are tearing and I truly feel like someone hit me full force in the back of my skull with a shovel. My vision is skewed, and it's scary. As I type, the letters start to change shape so that the font looks different and parts of the letters are actually missing. And the tears...intermittent crying jags...then anger..... And guess what? I have to be at the Neuropsychologist's office in an hour to resume the testing I have been waiting so desperately for...I have no one available to drive me and I'm scared to death.... Has anyone experienced these type of headaches with visual disturbances? I have A LOT of stress going on right now....but I feel exactly like I did post injury....:'(

July 21, 2010, one month after starting my new job I sustained a concussion after standing up quickly from a sqatting position and subsequently being impaled by the corner of a metal filing cabinet in to the left side of my skull. Dx. Post Concussive Syndrome. Female, 45 years young . Mom of 3 boys (22,19,10)..Registered Nurse 16 years . Symptoms: Vertigo, difficulty concentrating, unable to multitask, fatigue, severe transient headaches..severity and location change frequently, anxiety, PTSD, tinnitus, "electrical like sensations" across the top of my head, "hot flashes", numbness and coolness to hands (worsens in A/C), very poor recall ability, processing and comprehension, difficulty finding words and completing thoughts, short term memory is awful. ~I will never give up on myself~ ~I run because I can. When I get tired, I remember those who can't run, what they'd give to have this simple gift I take for granted, and I run harder for them...I know they would do the same for me <3 |
