Symptoms of BI & Concussion

Signs of TBI and Concussion

Each and every person surviving a concussion, or sustaining what may be deemed a traumatic brain injury, is uniquely different.  What my injury looked like at its onset is nothing like what it looks like today.  

With that being said, what is it that those with injuries are to look out for?  What are things to be concerned about?  And what are just the new norms for most of us now living with head trauma?
​ 
To answer these questions, I have pulled together some of the best resources that I have found on all “TBI” topics.  I hope these resources will guide you on your journey of healing.
