Im 4 months in after I crack my head in two spots I don't feel same and I cant sleep or focus on my task ,weed helps just to live and continue .
Thank You Dr. Clark . This is very informative. It gives me peace of mind that I'm not losing my mind. This has been a long road of recovery and understanding.
I have been dealing with this for almost 4 years now and I can't get help, nothing has gotten better and I keep getting passed off because I don't look "disabled". I lost my job, I can't pay for my college courses, I am literally confined to my house, specifically my room due to the severe sensitivity to light/noise/ a constant migraine. I am in pain 24/7, the migraine never goes away, its at a constant 6/7 now that spikes throughout the day to 9/13 or 10/20 at worst to the point I want to die.
My Symptoms:
When it happened; No loss of consciousness but I almost did, I was in a state of being dazed, confused/ disoriented/ sleepy.
Migraine - pain lvl 6/7 constantly
Sometimes Nausea
Fatigue/ drowsiness/ Foggy
Problems with speech/ Slurred speech
Insomnia to Sleeping more than usual; maybe 1 to 3 hours of sleep a day for months
Dizziness, loss of balance & coordination
Blurred vision/ Pupils dilate, ringing in the ears, changes in the ability to smell
EXTREME Sensitivity to Light/ Sound/ Temperature
Memory loss & concentration problems/ Extremely overwhelmed & confused or lost if I am startled or don't understand
Mood swings/ depressed/ anxious/ Agitation/ unusual behavior/ Angry for no reason
Can't bend over or exercise/exert my self without exasperating it.
And those are just some of what I deal with every single day. It gets worse when I try to fight against it to do anything, like riding in a car or watching TV.
Thank you for talking about a subject matter that is literally just now coming into the light. I have a friend who is going through this stuff and it's hard to watch her try and recover and this 'series' about PCS has been MAJOR helpful in sending to my own friends to educate about it. Awesome!
It's been 9 months since i have post conccussive syndrome and I still suffering with head pressure light and noise sensativity i haven't feel myself since then...i have depression anxiethy ,insomnia and irritability I don't know if this will go away some day
Hit my head when I was drinking. Thought I was still hungover a week later but thinking maybe its the hit to the head instead. Forehead is very sore and I'm nauseous. Good thing I have a nuerologist appointment monday 🤔
Hi doctor...i was involved in a minor car accident a month ago..had a CT SCAN done and neurologist said I was okay...but i still have most of the symptoms you mentioned...what can I do about it?
I have Post Concussion Syndrome 12 years later
What kind of dr can I go see to get checked for this problem besides my general dr
I have had symptoms for post concussion syndrome for a year and a little bit longer from when my two concussions occurred. Is this normal? If not normal, is it at least like possible? Part of me is afraid that I don’t really have it and I just have things wrong with me that I need to fix if that makes any sense.
Help I live in northern N.J. and I have been diagnosed with PCS,PBS,and PSTD. I’m looking for a PCS expert.
I will research you more. I am one year and eight months out and I am not getting better
Yup I have all of it
Thank you so much! I'm pretty certain I have post concussion syndrome -- should I be avoiding certain activities that I was avoiding early on in my injury, such as looking at screens?
How to recover from this?
Hmmm I hope am good, got mild I think maybe coz of playing soccer.
