Some supplements that have helped along the way are high grade fish oil, b vitamin complex, nootropics like noopept for cognitive function as well as drinking plenty of fluids, relaxation techniques, keeping my head cool with ice, getting plenty of rest and being out in nature when possible. Avoiding stress is another key factor so staying away from things that trigger stress hormones and focusing on getting better. I wish everyone the best on their journey.
Thank you guys so much for posting this stuff. I felt so alone since my accident. My life is going to hell basically. I'm starting to feel hope watching these videos. Now I can share these with people so they know what I'm going through.
After my concussion in which i did not lose consciousness my symptoms occured 5-6 days afterward sinus type pressure headaches on the left side of my face and head (where i was hit) and an occasional slight stabbing feeling on the top left side of my head. Mood swings,irritability,poor concentration and a hazy consciousness. These symptoms lasted for at least a year to varying degrees and now 2 years later present themselves on occasion. The human brain is very fragile i wish i had known that there was such a thing as post concussion syndrome where symptoms could last years. Im much better than i was in the beginning but still wish i had taken better care of myself and head. I feel like i lost a lot of time and motivation along the way but still I am grateful that i had improved my symptoms. Very scary to experience these symptoms and mot know how to get help.
My post concussive headache, over 3 1/2 years later now, is inside my skull, right in the middle of my head. It never goes away. It never gets better than a 5 on a scale of 10. And all too often it is a 10. It does wax and wane, but NEVER goes away. And there are many other PCS symptoms, not for this video. I’ve been told by friends that “you need a chiropractor.” Or medical ‘professionals’ that say “that’s a muscle tension headache.” No one seems to get that it’s inside my skull…………
I had a concussion in my late teens about 8 years ago, however I was not unconscious so it was deemed it was a light concussion. However after 8 years I still have headaches every day which are bothersome but I can function. It worsens If i watch something I find emotional enough (like a disturbing documentary or whatever) the pressure begins so I try to signal it on time to stop that activity. And it is present 24/7, only of course I am used to it and if I focus my attention to something else it's okay I guess. In the first year I had at worst moments stroke like symptoms, blurred speech and such. Besides the nausea, inability to concentrate etcetera, irritability, feeling very foggy it hindered me. Unfortunately the doctors didn't really know what was happening but they surely agreed it had nothing to do with the concussion. Press X to doubt. However I also begone to develop migraines, which were there only once a week or so, in junction with my headache. Feels weird to have them both. But eventually it got better and after 2 years I got anti cyclical depressant which made me feel so numb in my head. Finally I could experience everything while feeling numb but with no pressure (pain). I took it for a few months but stopped because there were side effects, however I do think it has some long lasting effect on my brain or changed something for the better. The effect diminished but my headache never ever reached the amount of pressure and stroke like symptoms I head. And now it improves yearly or stagnates but unfortunately it is still here.
I had a concussion in 2015. Was later diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. Went for treatment. First person I worked with was great, second person not so much. While I'm much better than when I first started I still have issues. I'm prone to headaches that will progress from one type such as the vice grip headache to Ice pick headaches that move to directly behind my eyes if I don't get it under control. Usually brought on by bright lights in a dark area, moving lights (strobes), or lots of different noise ie different conversations at a bar/public place. I lost any ability to drown out other noises. Also developed tinnitus and vertigo type issues when going up/down different levels (hills, stairs, ladders)
Super helpful in describing what I have felt and have struggled to answer when doctors ask if I have headaches, yes, but no... not like they are thinking. Many doctors are not well-informed about this. I need to share this with them. I appreciate the information and it ties together (provides an answer to) the physical and psychological symptoms of trauma that I have experienced. Sincere thanks 🙏
Note: 'whiplash' is NOT a clinical diagnosis, just a term for e.g. a rear-end-car accident. Also 'whiplash' is synonym for NOT having (neck)complains anymore after 6 months.
Hi I am currently suffering from the same head ache symptoms as both of you 2 doctors are describing plus with lots of cronuc fatigue and PCS Any idea on what might help me pick up the bits and peaces left of my life?
I fell off a ladder and ended up with a large scalp laceration. I have had pain precisely over the area of injury, which feels like a deep bruise in my skull. It has been about 6 weeks now. I sometimes wonder if it is a small skull crack or fracture in my skull not seen on my post-injury ER CT scan. Sometimes small fractures don't show up immediately after an injury. I can't think of anything to do about it besides vitamin D and calcium. I have had some minor balance problems, which are improving. I have some fatigue, which is slowly improving, and vivid nightmares. This morning was awful dreaming. I was lost in time and space with no way out.
I've been dealing with this for a year and a half. I feel like nobody believes me on how much pain I have in my face and the left side of my brain head going into the back of my neck.....I'm losing my mind! I have tried everything I can to explain this shit tou nurse manager and the drs. And I feel like nobody is listening or believing me!. I'm hating my life!
Since I got diagnosed with post concussion syndrome for over a year ago, I still struggle with a lot of symptoms. But there is one symptom which is a constant pulse that pounds really hard especially in my neck aria, as well as in my ears when I lay on the side. Often the pulse prevents me to rest as well as sleep. Is this a normal symptom on post concussion? In that case what makes it pound so hard, and is there any way to make it stop? I would really appreciate it if you answered my question.
Hi Jørgen, people often have symptoms like these after a concussion or whiplash injury. Many times it has to do with your ANS or Autonomic Nervous System. Because of the injury to the nervous system, it can cause a lot of issues including neck pain. We have had patients come through our clinic that have had very similar experiences to you that have found their problems resolved after treatment. I suggest that you schedule a free consultation with one of our neuroscientists so you can go into greater detail about your injury and see if we have a solution for you at our clinic! Here is the link to the free consultation sign ups: www.cognitivefxusa.com/consultation-0
Thanks for answer, Another question: will this symptom naturally go away with the rest of the plagues/symptoms? It’s post concussion syndrome after all, all the symptoms will disappear in the end, right?
@@jrgenskuseth2189 There is no exact science as to when post-concussion symptoms will go away naturally. Sometimes they naturally go away in a month or two, and other times they never go away. We have had many patients come into our clinic who have had symptoms for 20 or more years! I wish I could say how long it will last, but it's impossible to know if it will go away naturally. If you schedule a free consultation, our doctors can help you get a clearer picture of your personal injury and what they can do to help you.
Venous sinuses: Pulsatile tinnitus can be a symptom of a dangerous problem with the blood vessels in the head, but not always. Sometimes, pulsatile tinnitus can signal a more serious impending health problem, like a stroke or blindness. Therefore, pulsatile tinnitus should prompt you to see a doctor to further assist you.

How is it now ?

I’m sorry someone attacked viscously for no reason I hope I heal and justice is about to be served
