Concussions/Brain Injuries: 3
Cause: Car Accident, Other
Cortnie’s Story
My car accident resulted in post concussion syndrome. I had no idea this existed or could happen two years after the fact.
Having an Invisible injury has been difficult to say the least, having others trying to relate to my migraines and memory loss or tell me how to treat them has been frustrating. My migraines are different from theirs and they just don’t understand that.
I’m currently doing a multitude of treatments and hoping to see some improvement.
My advice to others is to be kind and patient with yourself, your pain is valid.

Concussion Connect has provided me a space to learn more about what is going on inside my brain and body, find the words to express how I am feeling, not feel so alone, and learn about and use different resources! It provides a sense of being understood that has been missing since my accident, even brings a sense of understanding myself. - CC Member
