Frustrated :/ (vent)
I have had 5 concussions within 3 years and I’m only in my 20s (F) and majority of the pcs would go away within like 2 months, I last hit my head in December and the recovery has felt very weird.
At first it felt normal like head pounding / nausea to light / ringing etc. After like a month and a half most of those went away however neurologically I started to become more clumsy and forgetful of things. I’ve become more isolated as well from friends because I will take a slower time to reply or I will mess up my words on accident & they’ll laugh but I know it’s not like personal or in a rude way. Everyday I have felt bad nausea and just bad motion sickness. I took a neurological test and my results were not good at all. It really aggravates me that for the most part I can appear normal & present myself to friends & peers however I feel like I’m going through something so invisible that I really don’t even know how to describe. When I saw a neurologist they said that I have a fair recovery however everyday it feels like my brain is slowly declining, I’m struggling to remember basic things. It’s hard to go shopping without feeling really nauseous from so much motion around me. It has been hard for me to work, practice studies, hw etc. I never even know how to describe what I’m dealing with every single day into actual words. Has anyone else felt like their brain has been on a decline?
