Yup I know that feeling. Everyone these past few days are wondering why i feel so crummy again. Sick of answering the question. People just dont seem to understand that a concussion is brain trauma of some sort depending on the severity. For example myself, a lot of people are confused as to why Im back at step one after four months. I was confused too. Now I know, plain and simple I over did it before I was fully healed and downplayed the severity of this kind of injury. Now im paying for it dearly.

I have gotten so sick of people asking me I just tell them know that my head is still attached and that my brain is still in there working on healing... normally they laugh it off and we talk about something else... I am so sick of talking about my head... that is really what everyone wants to know...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
