Default Never Diagnosed, now experiencing symptoms years later

I have had at least five concussions which left me unconscious for half an hour or more, one for two hours. No one mentioned concussion, there was no advice, no treatment, no follow-up. The first time, and the worst time, I was 7 yrs old, unconscious and delerious for over 2 hrs before I was put to bed to "sleep it off"

Who knows what effects those and lesser konks had on my brain tissue. But the last one that i remember was a good 10 yrs ago. Now suddenly I am experiencing Aphasia and other communications difficulties, including not being able to find words, substituting words unwittingly, and even being unable to talk, having to use gestures, pointing etc.

I researched these symptoms and found "Conduction Aphasia", which seems to fit, more or less, and it is associated with "mini-strokes" and brain lesions! What is a person to think? I know, the first thing someone is going to say is: see a Neurologist. I just don't think i can travel that far very soon. I am on 5 liters of oxygen 24/7 and it takes 5 tanks just to make the trip. Not to mention my Medical PTSD. Does anyone know anything that might help me understand what is happening to me?

Thanks,
StormE1
