I gained the most from getting involved with an agency (CNS - Calgary Neurorehab Services) that has 16 years experience in treating clients with brain injury. Once I surrendered and started with their program (which is comprehensive - work, home, fitness, psychological, etc), I finally started to make AND KEEP my progress. All the treatment cost was covered by CHR - Calgary Health Region. I wish I would have known about them sooner, so I am posting this in hopes someone will benefit.

Here is a link to a great checklist of symptoms. It is important to track your results from behavior modifications and other responses to symptoms. We learn to help ourselves heal better that just a therapy program.

Hi,
A good source for info on concussions / pcs is: 'Sports Concussion Library'. (google it). It includes SCAT2 test and an 'Educational Module' if you care to inform a group about concussions and post-concussion syndrome: Good luck to all. |

This is a great link from a British site all about TBI's and the research going on for it.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs. This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance. The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months. I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion. The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days. I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists. I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation. |

Thanks for this, Margo. What kind of treatment did you get, if you don't mind my asking?
