I hit my head first in March of 2009 and have been hitting my head since then, so technically I have only been suffering from PCS since March of this year, but that is only because that was my last concussion.

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)

It's been 9 months for me and no end in sight. But when I did neurofeedback yesterday they said I was still "early" in my recovery. Everybody seems to say that but sometimes I think it's just to make me feel better. I also hit my head 5 times in those 9 months but they were just bumps that aggravated the symptoms I don't think they were true concussions but boy they sure feel it was a concussion.
