Default Now 8 months since I hit my head... What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,


So I made a thread "5 months pcs, when will this be getting any better?" Obviously, 3 months ago. ( I am 14 btw )From then some of my symptoms have gone away. But I'm stuck with one or two last complaints. I call them complaints cause I don't know if there multiple symtoms or just one. Maybe someone can help.



So far, the way I describe these symtoms I find it VERY rare to find another pcs sufferer to have them. That's what kills me the most.


My symptom(s):

This dream feeling/sensory is off/touch is off/IDONTFEELTHESAME: basically, ever since my head I've had this symtom(s). i hit my head first on the back then on the side. (Same day) then, I got some sort of neck injury as all of my docs have been saying. ( I was playing football in the house that's how I got the Concussuons) so basically they don't know if it was 2 concussions in one day or just 1 and another one that made it worse, all I know is that I still don't feel the same.

Farigue:

This one is less brutal, like my other symtom(s) above ^ basically hen I do too much in the day my head gets tired, and I can't do anything else.

I have other small small symtoms , that I'm not worried about. I'm very concerned at the first one. Maybe someone can help.


Thanks,
Sam

This 'I don't feel the same' feeling is common. The fatigue is also common. They both just take time. Avoid overdoing it. It may be months for these last two symptoms to slowly fade away. For many, you may finally have realization that you have not had those symptoms in a while. Try to not focus on these symptoms and they will appear to go away faster.

Hi mark. So there actually was a point in time now that I remember about a mo or two after the injury, that the not feeling right symtom went away. But as soon as I realize it was gone, it came back, and I've had it for 90% of my Injury.

That feeling can be anxiety caused or related. Getting on with life while moderating activities and stress should be helpful.

Yea, that could be the case. But I'm just so frustrated mark. Most of my other symptoms have resolved but this just won't. It won't even get a little better. I just don't know why I am feeling this way still so long after the injury. And why this "not feel right/dreamy feeling"?

Could it be maybe I'm not resting enough? Or I'm doing something wrong to pro long the recovery?

Your 'not feeling right/dreamy' feeling may just take time. You may need to just try to move forward and live with this feeling for a while. Just don't take any risks.

What is you day like ? What activities do you do ? What is your diet like ? Do you get good continuous sleep at night ?

Have you read the Vitamins sticky at the top ?
