Hi, my name is Patty. And having a bad day, where BP is through the roof, heart racing, nausea, headaches. I always had BP on the lower side : 110/100 over 75/65, heart rate of 48-62. So having high BP problem etc is new. It's been 18 months. I was a passenger in a car accident.

I was told post concussion syndrome could be years or possibly permanent. So I'm a bit down today, wondering if it will ever get better. I've always bounced back from anything, but this is SOOOO different. And stumbled on to your group.

You know, I was bummed when I was originally told a concussion's effects could last f 3 month. Then I anxiously waited for the 6 month deadline to celebrate. No luck. Then a year. Nope.

Now it's 18 months and I still have memory problems, doubt and question myself a million times/afraid I'll forget or say the wrong word or just not comprehend what was said the first time. I still have headaches everyday and my eye socket still hurts. Teeth still not completely tightened up yet and arm shakes at times. I always avoided Drs and pills. If I was ever sick, did some good old homeopathic stuff/only went to DR if a sinus infection didn't go away after 2-3 weeks.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Ya, made sense, I just thought it was normal for me - everyone just said I had a lot of energy, that I was just hyper. Always stayed active to wear myself out and was always highly productive. Now I can't concentrate and struggle with basic math, yard and house have fallen to the wayside.. I don't know if it's fear of getting it wrong or something else. This is long enough, so I'll stop. I hope I can learn from you all.
