Hello all, First let me say i am happy with my like and have no severe issues. I have a full time job a wife and 2 kids. All the recent talk concerning long term effects with concussions I often questions the occurrence of concussions through my childhood to college football based on a few symptoms. I am a 27 year old male, no drugs, alcohol or tobacco. My biggest concern is my personality changes. At times I am outgoing and other times i don't want to talk to any one. This can change a few times a day. I have been light sensitive since about 16 and often have headaches. I will list my history of head injury

-I played running back and safety from ages 7-24. Which is youth,high school, d3 college and a year of semi pro. I was a very aggressive player and almost every game leave with a severe headache. I only went to the hospital twice for concussion symptoms. I was admitted and diagnosed with mild concussions after displaying symptoms.Once was in 2005 and the other in 2010.

-Snowboarding without helmet and wrecking on ice about 6 times.(age 17-22)

-wrecking dirt bike with helmet twice(age 11-12)

-falling from top of tractor trailer and landing on asphalt, back of head first.(age8)

-accidentally hit in forehead with bat that required 8 stitches, week later wrecked bicycle and landed head first requiring stitches to be redone.(age9)

I have never been fully diagnosed with a concussion but would often toughen up and not say anything. I am not looking for someone to diagnose me but more for an opinion if i should look further into medical assistance. As a child/early teen i remember been very fun and outgoing. Now i am often told i am grumpy and not social. That is what bothers me most. I don't think anything is wrong with me but my increasing mood changes make me wonder. Since having a family i have toned it down a lot and have had no head injury since age age 22. What do you guys think? Thank You.
