I am 42 years old, and Iāve been dealing with concussion issues for about 7 years at this stage. I hit the back of my head playing hockey and never really quite got over that, and uh, then Iāve had some repeated hits through the last few years. It would set me back for a few weeks, but then I would come back.
M. What are the main concussion symptoms you were dealing with?
A: Well, headaches would be number one, umm, sound would be there as well, headaches, sound, visual stimulus was a problem, driving was a problem..
M: It would give you a headache?
A: Yeah, like I got to the point where I could drive for ten minutes to work, but if I was going to the city I didnāt drive, right. I had whiplash too, so my neck was always very sore as well. Visual things is what set it off, computer, tv, or anything where there was fast moving things. Iāve done eye therapy as well right, so tracking, all that sort of stuff was jumbled up.
*listen to the full interview š
t I have gone 3 weeks or so, without an appointment, and I just know it has made a significant difference.
M: And if you were talking to someone that had severe concussion symptoms right now, what would you tell them?
#concussion
A: I would tell them to come see you! That would be the first thing I would do.
