One of my husband's work mates was knocked out when he was playing soccer a few months back. He actually clashed heads with another guy. He suffered PCS for about two/three months afterward. He isn't one to get too in depth with personal stuff, but he told my husband it was one of most horrible things he has experienced.
He has fully recovered. |

Thanks Vini for giving us some hope! Great you feel whole.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

Great idea, Vini. I'm so grateful to now be in the position of giving hope and encouragement. You can check my previous posts, but the upshot is that my 17 year old daughter is now fully recovered after severe PCS. It took over 2 1/2 years and all kinds of treatments (Effexor, acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy) and she is now a fully functional high school junior looking forward to college and living a full, healthy life. This forum was a lifesaver for me during times of deepest despair. Hang in there.

Hi everyone,
I ran across this thread and thought I should throw in my two cents. If you, or anyone you know, has incurred a head injury and you/he/she is not recovering, I would encourage you to look into neurofeedback. You can just google it and find all kinds of information about it. If you live in a big city, you will probably have dozens of therapists in your town who specialize in this. If not, you can also do it remotely with specialists such as Dr. Victoria Ibric or Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler. My quick story is that I incurred 6 concussions while playing rugby in college. I have been doing neurofeedback for a couple of years to relieve symptoms and I have made great gains thus far. If you have any specific questions, just let me know. Cheers, Mike |
