Avatar n tn Hi...sorry to hear about the remaining issues.....what was he doing that he was injured?...sports...?I know u said he had CT scans...may I ask y not an MRI?.....and do u have a copy of the report? Since it was 2 wks ago the last time...it is possible that he has swelling and it is not completely healed? Hopefully he did not suffer a condition from the repeat injuries.Head injuries r nothing to let slide...please call his dr and ask him the same questions ur asked here.
1986085 tn?1326599613 I have been living with genital herpes for 12 years. A few years after I contracted it I noticed that I didn't lubricate the same during arousal and sexual intercourse. Now it is like a desert, it is so dry, I no longer lubricate well at all for sex, in comparison to sexual history before I contracted it. Also, I am fairly light skinned and my genital area has become so dark, almost brown/black.
Avatar f tn I have issues remembering simple things like take out the trash to long term things like next Monday go to the Doctors. I still have headaches and all of this scares me. Is there a chance all these concussions have done some serious damage to me? Is there anything I can do? Please help, thanks.
Avatar n tn Most people recover completely, particularly if postconcussion syndrome symptoms do not develop. Postconcussion syndrome symptoms are common during the week after brain injury. They often resolve during the second week. However, sometimes symptoms persist for months or, rarely, years. Your friend should consult a neurologist and undergo a MRI to see the effects of head injury.There could be inflammation of the brain tissue causing headache and nausea.
Avatar f tn As far as my experience goes, a hit with a base ball bat should cause some short term problems like concussion and post concussion symptoms. But if there was no unconsciousness, nausea or vomiting, a serious brain damage is ruled out. Do you wish to add any more symptoms of yours ?
Avatar n tn You need to consult an attorney as soon as possible. People are very reluctant to initiate actions, but there is a chance this may cause long-term problems. Keep copies of all of his medical records. I urge you to seek a teaching hospital for an evaluation that has a staff of neurologists, rather than seeing one individual.
Avatar f tn I suffered a concussion 4 months ago when I fell during a parade with my high school band. My mom took me to the ER and I was diagnosed with a concussion. I had a CT scan and nothing was out of the ordinary, and it seemed to just be a mild concussion. 4 months later, I'm still having issues. I'm a junior in high school and concentration and memory issues made me switch out of all of my honors classes into regular ones and drop both math and science completely.
Avatar m tn I am 55, received MRI after concussion. Was told it was unrelated. 2 days after the concussion, my short term memory, wasn't there, I was forgetting what I was doing if distracted by any thing. Example if someone interrupted me while taking, I forgot what I was talking about. Better after 6 months, but still having some issues. Also following the concussion, I had issues walking. I walked to left, crashed into things.
Avatar m tn I read in one of your post that your daughter was said to have Post-Concussion Syndrome after a head injury. I do not know how long ago that was but if you looked up what the doctor was talking about like I do when my kids health is involved. You might of seen that the syndrome can sometimes last over a year in some cases. As for epilepsy, I have it.
Avatar f tn This is going to be a long story.. Back on the 9th of June, a small Roku remote landed on my head, later on that day I was in the shower and I patted my head with the bottom of my wrist in the same area the remote landed to straighten my hair out. I did experience nausea and a few headaches and even some memory loss here and there, but I'm not totally sure if that had anything to do with the remote landing on my head or my patting my head.
Avatar f tn So a bit over a month ago, I got a pretty severe concussion and ended up in the hospital. I could constantly hear my brain whirring, and throwing up two times a day. I also messed up and partied too hard with the concussion andddon't know if I took anything or what it would've been , and everything was hazy for days.
Avatar m tn A concussion can last for weeks after the head injury. The symptoms too vary from person to person. Headache, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, nausea vomiting, slurred speech and fatigue are common. Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere.
Avatar f tn re supposed to take it easy after a concussion and orgasm raises your BP and all. Most of my symptoms of the concussion have gone away, aside from double vision. Thoughts?
Avatar f tn Afterwards… Doc also diagnosed with childhood seizure disorder from past history symptoms of fogginess, short term issues, partial confusion with reading at a young age, and tremors. Over the past 3 years. Teen struggled intensely with depression,mania,suicidal ideation, paranoia,hallucinations ,GAD,social anxiety, Chronic fatigue, POTS,restless leg syndrome, irregular internal clock, And varying side effects due to the continual medication adjustments.
Avatar f tn The symptoms of post-concussion syndrome often improve after the affected person learns that there is a cause for the symptoms. Indeed, education about the disorder can ease a person's fears and help provide peace of mind. It also helps to have a a strong support system. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I would rather have my MRI read in Cleveland. I wonder how long a person can have concussion symptoms. If the symptoms should have disappeared by now, I have to wonder if it is the Chiari that is worse bc of the hard hit on the head.
Avatar m tn I am now worried that by doing this I have been hitting myself significantly hard enough to cause some damage to my head if not in the short term, then in the long term. I know this all sounds like a complete contradiction but it's how my thoughts work at the time. I have resolved to stop doing this but at the back of my mind I'm thinking "did I hit myself hard enough to hurt myself?" and again I'm tempted to do it to see how hard my head is jarred on my shoulder.
Avatar f tn This does not have any long term complications. The person just needs support from family members and has to learn to live with the memory loss and other such problems that you are facing and undergo behavior therapy for that. Memory loss and cognitive impairment is also a common symptom of frontal lobe injury. In the car crash that you have been involved in, you must have directly or indirectly hit your forehead jarring the frontal lobe of the brain just underneath.

Headache, confusion, memory loss, dizziness, nausea vomiting, slurred speech and fatigue are common. Delayed symptoms include depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, seizures, loss of smell etc. Injury to olfactory and lingual nerves of smell and taste could be a cause or it could be that nerves are in shock.
Avatar f tn Also I am incredibly unbalanced and all of these symptoms worsened after my last concussion which happened to be my fifth. From this one I had a report of severe concussion with mild amnesia, which four months later has not gone away. I also exhibit no abnormalities in my eyes. Sorry I forgot to include this before.
