Question 1

is amnesia symptoms two months post concussion dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Many types of forget: If you mean that you do not recall portions of time when the injury itself occurred - that is not unusual. If you have persistent problems with memory in general sine the injury, that is a TBI (traumatic brain injury) related memory problem. 
Amnesia is a lapse in consciousness that disallows any (or most) recall of what had happened. One might come to and not recognize where one is. Do not drive.

Question 2

can vertigo be treated/ cured? symptoms last for a week or more and episodes occur every 4-6 weeks. have had two concussions in the past, related?

Accepted Answer

Need a diagnosis: Head trauma may have started this, as this can affect the vestibular apparatus by disrupting the otolithic system, or perhaps post-traumatic meniere's, or endolymphatic fistula.  Sometimes, a simple epley maneuver is curative, but the diagnosis needs to be pinned down.  Seek an experienced otolaryngologist and get tested.

Question 3

got third concussion 3 weeks ago snowboarding, strong symptoms lasted about two days now i only get headaches once in a while. can i have a few beers?

Accepted Answer

Concussion: Maybe you need to pick another sport, it seems you are not too good at snowboarding specially if you drink when you snowboard.

Question 4

i am recovering from post concussion symptoms and have been for over two weeks. i have occipital neuralgia headaches that are accompanied by the other symptoms. i have heard conflicting answers about taking nsaids with a concussion. is it safe to do?

Accepted Answer

There are: no contraindications I know of for the use of NSAIDS for post concussive symptoms. Make sure you follow dosing instructions carefully. Remember that you can take Acetaminophen  concurrently as well.
Hope this is helpful

Question 5

can you recover from two concussions around the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Multiple head trauma can take time to recover, but most people do recover.  Might be several months before you feel back to normal.  It is important that you avoid any additional head trauma.  Avoid contact sports or any other activity where you could bump your head.  Repeated traumatic brain injury can have long lasting effects.

Question 6

how long does it take to recover from a concussion? dr said its minor? i dont even know what that means. its been two weeks since then. am i able to consume legal edible cannabis?

Accepted Answer

: A concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or a combination of both.  There are various intensity grades.  Post-concussional recovery, in the absence of a persistent traumatic brain injury, occurs maximally over 4-6 weeks.  Not clear why edible cannabis would be of any pertinent value.

Question 7

can a two year old get a concussion from falling out of bed?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hard floor? How high is the bed? A concussion can occur although if the bed is low and the floor is carpeted, this would be less likely.

Question 8

what to if i am experiencing recurrent headaches two weeks after a concussion - what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Persistant symptoms: From a concussion are somewhat common and it is certainly possible to be experiencing headaches 2 weeks after the initial impact. The most important thing is to avoid any activity that may cause another impact to your head while you are symptomatic. You should also follow up with your physician (sports medicine, neurology, primary care) as an MRI may be warranted at this point.

Question 9

had two concussions within months. dont feel as sexually driven as before. some of the kinks i used to like have diminished. could this be permanent?

Accepted Answer

Healing sequence: Brain injury recovery spontaneously continues over 18-24 months, with most of the progress during the first six months.  If you do not feel improved over time, you could be helped with cognitive behavioral therapy.  Would also wonder about sleep hygiene associated with your recovery.

Question 10

hello i had a question i had a concussion last july and i had problems focusing i thaught it was my vision because my vision view was different it stay for 2 weeks and those symptoms came back no one understands me what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

: Am perplexed by your comments of "no one understands", as your head injury about one year ago appears responsible.  See an ophthalmologist to rule out direct eye issues.  You may also need audiometric/ vestibular studies to assess balance dysfunction.  A neurologist may also pull this together.  Visual rehab programs are available.
