111. When Concussion Turns Chronic | Bella Paige - The Unsaid of Chronic Illness

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

It starts as one concussion and maybe that's all it takes but for myself (Bella) it took quite a few. Then the symptoms you may know all too well came about such as chronic headaches, crippling fatigue, depression, and more. This part was the longest, or so I thought would be the longest until I recovered.
But what if I didn't.
I am now in the longest part of my illness journey that I know of because this time I know it's forever. There is no recovery to make, yet I have "recovered" from post-concussion syndrome. I don't have PCS anymore because I am one of the few cases (maybe more than we know) that became chronic.
Chronic illness is a tough challenge to overcome as it's the forever type. Listen in as I share a glimpse into how these diagnoses came to be and some comfort if you may be one of the few whose recovery is not exactly a recovery after all.
