At right is what the brain of Kathryn Blaze Baum looked like in an MRI on March 24, 2017, nearly five months after she suffered a concussion. She obtained a digital copy of the scan and more than 100 pages of medical records and notes to piece together how health-care professionals perceived her during treatment.Thank you so much for writing this, Kathryn. I had my first mild concussion in 1984, then hit my head again a year and a half later. Both brought on debilitating vertigo.
It is extremely frustrating trying to describe to non-sufferers what a concussion feels like and the impact that it has - an inescapable and internal torture test that at best puts life on pause, and at worst changes its course forever. I get even more upset by most online descriptions of concussions; symptoms are just casually listed like a checklist. Making matters worse, is describing concussions as “mild”. So much is lost in these lists and that label. Dizziness isn't just dizziness.
