Hello, I've had 3 concussions in the span of the last two years. One in Jan 2024, one in Jan 2025, and then, before I was fully healed from that one, I got another concussion in Aug 2025. No one warned me that back-to-back concussions take much longer to heal, and I've developed post-concussion syndrome, which has had severe negative effects on my life. But because my concussions were "so long ago," I feel like any time I experience a setback from them, I feel like I'm making an excuse.

1 Reaction@jacque1ine the brain is amazing at how it can heal, let alone the body if you treat it right, welcome to the mayo clinic connect, i am randy and have had numerous head injuries from age 10 i would guess. 59 years ago. if you exercise and eat pretty decent food and don't over tax your brain it can heal with time. believe me when i tell you it takes time. this last one was a tumor in the brain, cancerous. after treatments and testing my tests came clean up to this last week got a cyst of some kind. not going to worry about it or tax the brain. don't need a seizure or anything like it , so i will keep sending prayers to everyone, now you -----------sent and ill send one up for people that really need one, for now have a blessed day.
@randallshields56 thank you for taking the time to write back. It's nice to know others are thinking of me! I hope everything turns out well with the cyst! I'll be thinking of you as well!

do . what my mom taught me- One Day at a Time. put one foot in front of the
other and see how far you can go today. sure miss her but know i am watched
over. just me thing. have a blessed day.
