Retrograde, Anterograde & Post Traumatic Amnesia, Depression, Suicidal thoughts, Chronic/Breakthrough Bodily Pain, Anxiety & Panic Attacks, Severe Headaches, Mood Swings, Insomnia & other sleep problems, Personality changes, Irritability, Loss of Co-ordination & Concentration, Emotional Lability, Nausea, Confusion, Hallucinations, Fatigue, Social Behavioral Problems, Partial/Temporary Bodily Paralysis, Vision & Speech Problems & more besides are ALL symptoms of PCS & PPCS which are not medically treatable (only some symptoms are).
PCS & PPCS can end careers & alter lives drastically within seconds & last anything from 3-6 months to a lifetime! Professional sports people will tell you about friends & team mates whose entire careers were wiped out with one blow to the head, never to return. Until recently treatment was thought to be non existent & is still generally unavailable (especially in the UK). However holistic & physical methods such as Bowen Technique Therapy etc are being used successfully in more progressive countries such as the USA.
*WE HAVE A PRIVATE DISCUSSION GROUP FOR PCS AWARENESS IN-DEPTH & PERSONAL MATTERS, PLEASE ASK AN ADMIN OR MYSELF TO BE ADDED TO THIS GROUP - THANKS DAVID*
