I'm feeling the same, so I think it's good that we all talk here. I'm a 42 y/o athlete (still) who plays baseball every Sunday. I would say I've had 5-7 concussions in my lifetime from childhood through today. Of which, I'd say that 3-4 were severe.

My daily symptoms include feeling lethargic, listless & lack of energy (especially in my legs), sore, very tired early at night. I have dealt with mild anger/patience issues....and until reading these posts, never attributed this to concussions. For this I am thankful because I've always been a good guy who usually handles things with patience, kindness, and understanding. Now that I am 99% sure this comes from concussions, I feel like I can manage it better. HOWEVER, IN ADDITION TO HELPING EACH OTHER WE MUST ALL DO OUR BEST TO RESEARCH ON OUR OWN AND MANAGE OUR ISSUES AS BEST WE CAN. We own our bodies, we own our responsibility. We owe it to ourselves & to our loved ones. I will do my best to help anyone who wants to share or compare notes, talk about things, etc.

Just yesterday after trying to recall the consussions (or possible concussions) I have suffered, I realized that my 2nd cocussion back in 7th grade was the first time I began to experience migraines with aura (or ocular migraines). It was immediate. Blind spots, kaleidoscopic flashing lights, nausea. Since then, I have suffered migraines about 4-5 times per year and they render me quite useless for about 24 hours. I have learned to manage them very well with medication, especially with focus on the timing of taking the meds. But the symptoms are the same. For the first time in my life, I worry about what the future holds for me as my Grandfather had severe alzheimers. I have read that multiple concussions may trigger or at least contribute to this awful disease.

As I feel it necessary to better prepare myself for each day, I have cut back on drinking alcoholic beverages (but not as if I drank all that much anyway) & will try to quit the 1-2 cups of coffee I have each morning. I am also going to return to the chiropractor for his attention to the head & neck area. I will also schedule a massage every other month or so. But, what's also important is that we explore & research natural remedies by paying attention to the foods we eat and what we drink. I have found a few good links, so please consider trying...the worst that can happen is you're eating more natural fruits & vegetables! One commonality in what I found is that we who are suffering need to increase our water intake. I am excited to see if any of these natural remedies work and I'll let you all know so you can feel good for your own futures with any positive results I can share with you.

I am glad to see that I'm not alone, but I feel for you all suffering the same. Good luck to you all!
