Our community concussion warriors

This group of individuals are dedicated to learning from their injuries. Every concussion is different, which means that the type of advice or support you might need might also very person to person. Our team includes individuals who have suffered long lasting concussions and have had to try many different treatment methods. Feel free to get in touch with any number of these individuals by email. We recommend setting up an in person meeting, or talking over the phone. Even if you don't need advice, it can be amazing to have someone who gets your struggles. So please get in touch!
After sustaining multiple but small impacts, my concussion symptoms lasted for a year and a half. I've experienced the whole range of symptoms, but mostly struggled with headaches, memory loss, and mental health. I have lots of experience with treatment in the Vancouver area. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to know what worked for me! 
I have had a concussion for 3 years. My main symptoms are headaches, fatigue and computer sensitivity. I have worked to overcome lightheadedness from exercise and noise sensitivity. I think pacing is a key aspect to concussion recovery, and would love to give advice and listen to your experience!
I have successfully recovered from two concussions, which I sustained playing the sports I love. I had to cope with several symptoms during my recovery, particularly headaches and nausea, and also learn how to pace myself and set concrete and realistic goals. I am now back to living an active life. I am happy to share my experience with my concussions, and my road back to sports!
I am currently recovering from a concussion sustained in January 2016. I continue to struggle with headaches, nausea, vertigo, tinnitus, and noise sensitivity, along with issues with memory and cognitive processing. I have been diagnosed with Post Trauma Vision Syndrome, and I have struggled with mental health since my injury. I would be happy to chat and share what has worked for me so far. Recovery can be isolating—but you are not alone!
I've had one major concussion from an injury in March 2016. While I have for the most part overcome my symptoms, I mostly struggled with headaches, concentration problems, depression, anxiety, light sensitivity, and difficulty using the computer and cell phone. Concussions can be incredibly frustrating and make you feel rather lonely. I am happy to help you in whatever way I can whether its suggesting recovery tips or just being an empathetic ear to talk about your experience!
