Brain Post-concussion effects / shakey brain syndrome?
Posted: 10-17-07 05:15am

hello all. first time poster here.
about 6 months ago i was playing footbal. i had received many blows to the head (kicks, tackles u name it). but this one incident has left me very changed. i shoulder barged my oponent and at that instant i received the worst headache of my life. i did not blackout however.
since then my memory has become rather bad, my seeing is definitely impaired, i am light headed all day and when i do any form of physical activity it gets dramatically worse, i have lost the ability to concentrate and after i have more then 2 beers i receive headaches which do not go away with panadol or anything stronger.
i had a cat scan done which came back fine. i am waiting to get an MRI. the doctor suggested shakey brain syndrome or post-concussion effects but these would get better over time, not stay the same or worsen. and they would last for generally 2 months. so do any of you have ideas of what my problem might be?
thank you.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't have any particular insight, but if your doctor doesn't find anything, you need to keep pushing the issue with a neurologist. This is not good!!
