some of you may have seen me post here before but i havent in awhile because i have been feeling normal again for maybe around 6 months
15 months of a terrible concussion almost ruined me i never thought id be the same and thought i was screwed im back to normal in every aspect. the only lingering symptoms i still have is some flashy vision but i rarely notice it and its not as bad as it was and my left eye still has some double vision but it only is noticeable when im stressed or having a bad day overall i think i had a severe upper neck injury with a concussionn and the concussion when away but my neck took awhile to heal which messed with my jaw and gave me migraine like symptons i appreciate all the talks and support you guys gave me. i doubt ill ever post here again there is no need. i got my life back and even when i feel i hit a road bump which rarely happens i can easily over come it hang in there you will be better. im hopeful that my remaining few symptoms will completely go away and i think they will because they are not nearly as bad as they were and there the last ones left thanks |

Wonderful news!! Take care of yourself (and your brain!). Congratulations for surviving! It is not easy.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |
