Default Multiple concussions

Hi!

I'm a 26 years old girl from Norway. I've had multiple concussions in the past. Five years ago I fell off my horse and was unconscious for several minutes. I recovered completely. A year later I hit my head at the bathroom floor and the concussion symptoms was back. Two weeks after that I hit my head in the roof of my car. At that time I hadn't yet recovered from my second concussion, and I had post concussion syndrome symptoms for about 8 months after that - ringing in ears, loss of concentration, terrible headache, nausea, could not read books, computer etc. After this I almost completely recovered. However, I persisted to be extremely sensitive to any bumps when driving etc. I never hug anyone because I tend to get psc symptoms if they accidentally "hit" my head to hard. This may sound crazy, but my head is extremely sensitive. After these incidents I usually recover after about one or two weeks. But not this time.

One month ago I was driving with someone who drove on a hole in the road. This made me dizzy and all my symptoms came back. One week later I had a similar experience when an elevator I took had a hard "jerking" movement. After this I have been extremely annoyed with psc symptoms. I have ringing in my ears, dizziness, loss of concentration, irritability, terrible headache (impossible to describe) etc. I am so frustrated and afraid the symptoms will persist for monts or years. What do you think my prognosis is after these last incidents? I just finished my law degree with extremely good results and I want to work, but right now I can't even think. I am so afraid for my future, and I will rather die than have these symptoms. I don't know what to do and I am so depressed about how things have turned out. I will be extremely thankful for any advise. When can I expect my symptoms to cease after these two last incidents? Can I risk to have these symptoms for years? I know I will still be very sensitive and I try my best to avoid hitting my head, but I just want these symptoms to go away.

Sorry for my poor English skills. I hope someone could help because I'm so afraid and frustrated. Thank you in advance.
