Unfortuneately i suffered another setback. It has been the 4th one, and I feel like in week one. I can hardly talk or write, due to exhaustion so I will keep my post short.

I suffered a second concussion before the first one was fully healed. I didn't want to accept that and continued my brain straining life.

Two days later that was over. The headache and extreme fatigueness started and sent me to bed for 1.5 months.

Then I started to feel better. A rough busride through me back again for about 3-4 weeks.

After recovering from this setback I had the same rough busride again. Again I was out for 3-4 weeks.

And now, I made another mistake. I had a very stressfull week where I just wanted too much. I kept pushing, even though I started to feel worse My headache came back after months and i stay in bed all day. In summary - I feel like in week one.

My only question is now- is the brain still able to cope with all this, and start to fully recover, at least, from now on? I'm afraid that all this was just to much.

The brain will still try to recover but it needs to not be put through the roller coaster. That roller coaster ride is just delaying recovery, not ending recovery.

Quiet rest, not bed rest, is what the recovering brain needs.

That are some positive news, if it is true what you say.

So many things happened wrong in the past months, I almost feel like starting from point zero. That is absolutely ok for me, I just want to do it right from now on.

The pushing was my fault and I highly regret it. It unfortunately feels like that this overload caused another damage or at least damaged the already healed cells. The pain can be described as cutting and always occurs in the same area. What would you say?

A re-occurence of pain does not necessarily mean a new injury or damage to the previous injury. Usually, it just means you did too much or pushed too hard. For me, my concussion head aches will manifest out of the blue. No triggers. No over-stimulation. They just happen. I am used to it because this has been going on for decades. They come. They go away. Sometimes, I need ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Life with PCS.

It does not feel like the typical migraine. i currently feel my brain hurt, everytime I think too much, speak too long or any other overstimulation. If i do no stop, i will end in complete overload of the whole system (so not just pain, also dizziness, problems with realization and complete mental exhaustion including an extreme stress intolerance)

It feels like I just got another concussion. The condition lasts now for 1.5 weeks and is hardly getting better so far. I was looking for a possible explanaition of what happens inside the injured brain when it gets pushed through things too hard. If there is no explanation, it would be ok either because the treatment won't change.

Early in my recovery, I routinely had periods where I over did it and took 2 weeks to recover. Many of us have had similar experiences. I actually expected to need a week or two to recover from stressful activities.

What I experience is certainly more than a 2 week thing. The pushing brought back the constant pain in the head, that I only had in december and january. So to say, I'm almost at the beginning of my recovery.

Maybe everyone responds different to pushing over the limit. In my case it feels like the initual injury has been aroused again and the brain has to repair something that has been already repaired.

But, PCS is a learning process for everyone. I regret it and will never do it again.

To get your message right Mark, the healing process should be just delayed, but the brain should not struggle more now to be fully healed, like if I hit my head again?

Anxiety can make a re-occurrence of symptoms much worse than the original injury. Managing anxiety is a big part of recovery.

I am not anxious. I am full of hope actually, that things are getting better from now on.

So the answer to my question in my previous post is: no can tell it
