I’ve had 5 concussions of my own. 2 severe, 3 oddly reasonable. What have I learned from my experience and my education?

Go to a concussion specialist early!

Day 2, day 5, as early as you can! New research has come out just this year showing that the longer you wait to see a specialist, the longer you’re likely going to have persisting symptoms. Be proactive!!

Unfortunately, the medical system won’t do it for you. You’ll need to be an advocate and push for this on your own. We’re fighting to change that through education, awareness, and connections, but for now that’s likely the case. Fight for it! Let me help you fight for it-I’m here for you!

We can’t prevent concussions, but we can prevent chronic Persisting Symptoms after Concussion (PSaC). If you sustain a concussion, see a concussion physical therapist or other concussion specialist ASAP!

Love your brain! 🫶
