Head injury ten weeks later

Our referral to neurology took days nadeteturbe and I don't think it was serious as it was just to do with medication, so maybe it is where you live? They are supposed to call in from other areas though if the list is that long. It really isn't acceptable.

I hope you feel better soon x

My eldest son had a head injury, from hitting the back of his head when some thug punched him and knocked him over. He had delayed concussion for months.

Thanks HVDY that's helpful. I hope your son made a good recovery.
Headway have been very helpful Elaine thanks.

JaneJudge goodness, what a difference!

I'm in Northern Ireland. It's probably down to our wonderful government system over here. . We had no Assembly for 3 years when SF opted out, now we have the same with DUP.
Apparently we are about to lose £300m back to Treasury because we have no working Assembly.

We're lucky we have savings and also can afford Benenden. Many people I know have relied on it for the last few years. (I'm sure they'll increase their membership fee soon. ) We've had to pay privately for consultants and dental treatment. Our local NHS dental practice had no dentist at one stage! It really is a shambles.

I had concussion when I was thrown from a horse. Even as a youngster, I didn't feel quite 'right' for months afterwards. I slept a lot (normally sleep very little) and gradually recovered. If your body is telling you to rest, I'm sure it's best to listen.

That sounds terrible nadateturbe thank goodness you can pay x

You are right. Thanks.

I have a scar over my left eyebrow that goes from my hairline to my eyebrow that I needed 8 stitches in.
I acquired the scar by missing a step. going over on my ankle in the process (leaving me with ligament damage), falling forward, and smacking my head against the edge of a door.
I didn't have a CT scan as I had not been knocked out but it took several weeks before the bruising had finally gone, and for at least a couple of years , when it was cold in the winter, it was painful along the length of the scar and still aches if I am outside in very cold weather.
Yes it does take some time for it to heal and the pain to stop and if your injury is on the top of your head, is bound to make you feel a bit unwell, until the swelling has gone down.
However, if you are still concerned, please see your GP again or I would usually suggest even going back to A&E .
Only you know how it feels and how it affects you . But be prepared for it to heal slowly before you feel a bit more normal.

You are having a tough time , this in addition to ME must be very very difficult for you. I an in no position to advise but I do have empathy and sincerely hope you begin to feel better soon. ?

Gosh Jaylucy that sounds awful! I am being referred, thanks.

Thank you for your kind words Shelflife.
