Welcome - and feel free to vent your heart out. We all understand the frustration of living with an "invisible" injury.

I'm afraid I can't provide much personal insight into your symptoms. Aside from trouble swallowing, I was largely spared TBI related digestive/eating issues. However, while there's little doubt that some of your problems are related to injuries your body suffered as you tumbled down the hill (yikes), don't discount brain injury from the scenario.

The brain is your body's control system, directing everything, including digestion. I knew a TBI patient who would throw up - and then continue to eat. The doctors were stymied. Obviously this person wasn't nauseous. Turns out the initial cat scan had missed a subdural hemotoma that was pressing on the area of the brain believed to control the vomit reflex. By the time the hemotoma was finally discovered, it was too large to remove easily. In time, it shrunk away on its own - and the vomiting ended.

I received a concussion just before Easter from a motorcycle accident. What I was experiencing wasn't easily described. I felt like I wasn't getting through to my doctor what exactly was going on. I started to feel like I was going crazy. That was until I went to a sports medicine doctor. I finally felt like someone understood me. He got me set up on the right track and most of my symptoms are gone after a few weeks of physical therapy.

Good luck to you!!

Hey meezazu, what exactly were your symptoms that went away after a week of PT? I also had my concussion on a motorcycle.
