It has been a month, since I hit my head on the ice. I suffered the first concussion approx. 3 years ago. I still have dizziness,nausea,headaches,neck pain, loss of balance,focusing and sleep problems. When will these symptoms from the concussion go away. I had a CT scan and there was no bleeding, in which I'm grateful. The Dr. said I have a concussion. Should I go back to the Dr. or wait it out. I am not able to drive and I want my life to get back to NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My family have been very helpful throughout this. If you have any ideas or information that might help me, I would appreciate it. Sharon

I suffered from migraines for years due to perimenapausal symptoms. then in may of 2010 i sustained my first concussion. it was really terrible and i walked around not knowing a thing, what had happened, what i should do and so on. two days ago i sustained another blow to the head in the same place my first concussion/contusion was. i am very grateful for a website like brainline to help those who are left to find their own way through the dark. i can already tell this is going to be really bad. so i\'m praying
