Concussion and it’s symptoms

I had purchased a step stool from Fanwer and one side fell apart when I stepped on it causing me to fall and hit my head on the door of my oven- I dented the door! I also got cellulitis in my leg and an abcess in my knee. I went to the hospital and they said I had a concussion. I am on Eliquis so they did a CT scan. Thankfully, I didn't have a brain bleed. I have been back to the hospital 4 times. The cellulitis and abcess have healed but the concussion is still causing the severe headaches, nausea, brain fog and dizziness. My doctor has ordered an MRI of the brain and an MRA or the head. Have you had any of these tests? I am taking anti-nausea meds and tylenol. It has really messed up my life. It's been 6 weeks. I hope you get better soon. Has your doctor tested you to see why you keep falling? I hope you get better soon. If anyone can offer ideas on how we can get over this, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Joan

Thank you for your reply. I had a cat scan and it came back clear. My brain feels frozen like delayed in so many areas. The part I fear the most is the emotional part. I was fine before this, except for anxiety and now I’m so low that sadly I think about ending it all. I don’t get these feelings as I have never had them my whole life and it scares me so much. My doctor put me on a new antidepressant and I’m hoping it kicks in soon and makes me feel much better. I hate this. Good luck with everything and I really hope you feel better soon.
