Default New poster, persistent problems

Hello!

Long time lurker, first time poster. Just a little bit of information about myself-I am a 25 year old male. I race motorcycles and on 05/2012 I had a bad wreck resulting in an impact seizure, massive concussion and airlift to the hospital. Stupidly enough I received another concussion, lighter, one month later. I bumped my head in August ever so slightly but had persistent concussion symptoms for at least a week after that. Finally, in October I fell of my bicycle, didn't hit my head, but still had horrible concussion symptoms for weeks.

2012 was a bad year to say the least. That said, I have been pretty good about avoiding any contact since then. I was taking 3000mg of fish oil a day and a b-12 supplement. Generally speaking, I feel pretty good. That said, I can tell I am incredibly prone to a concussion now. For instance, if I shake my head lightly, or turn quickly to see something I get an instant headache. It might even be a really light concussion because it makes me feel groggy, tired, and generally difficult to concentrate.

Honestly, I am not even sure the point of posting this. Perhaps it just to rant. But my biggest fear is that I will be like this forever. I would love to get back to racing, or not have this constant fear that the slightest of movements is going to take off valuable years on my life or make me an early Alzheimer patient.

I will take any advice on what to do to help me get of this slump!

Thanks
