- Do you find it hard to convey to your friends and family what you are going through? How they can help and support you in your recovery? This highly requested video is a presentation that was given to members of the Concussion Fix community and their families. For more information on the Concussion Fix program and how it can help you in your concussion recovery, please visit: concussiondoc.io/offer/the-co...
Wonderful!!! Such amazing information!! Thank you!
Someone shared your video on Reddit and I’m so happy they did because this is the most validating and helpful information I’ve seen on PCS in the 4 months I’ve been navigating this. I finally understand more of the science behind the symptoms I’m feeling and know what I can do to move forward. Thank you so much!!!
Glad you found it helpful :)
The way Dr. Marshall describes, explains and how he puts into words exactly what we can't explain is just incredible. This video touched me a lot, even though I'm currently following The Concussion Fix program, this gives me a lot of support, thank you for what you do.

Hi I will ask my husband to tell me when I doing too much.
Sir pls if you have spare time can you evaluate (1st impact) "sustained an impact to the right side of my head while riding in an auto-rickshaw en route to school. The road we were traversing was uneven and in poor condition. Feeling fatigued, I had relaxed my neck muscles and was dozing off inside the moving vehicle. Suddenly, as the auto crossed over a ditch in the road, there was an intense jolt. Since I was seated on the side of the auto closest to the ditch, the vehicle tilted sharply down on my side when the wheel dipped into the depression. With my neck loose and head unrestrained, the tilting action caused my head to involuntarily whip toward the right side. At that same moment, as the wheel emerged out from the ditch, the auto leveled out again. However, this rapid straightening motion led the metal bar framework on my side to forcefully strike the right side of my head. The entire sequence transpired rapidly, lasting only around 0.6 seconds by my estimate. The collision was forceful enough to accelerate my head significantly to the left In the aftermath." And another 3 days after the first incidence (2nd impact) " I was crossing the road in zebra crossing but I don't see red light so I was crossing the road and the biker man with 3 riders was approaching me at around 24-25 km/hr, collided from the right hand side in the back wheel laterally the hit in the back wheel caused the tube blob out of the tire and burst, also it deform and caused my wheel to bent , now since the hit caused my body to lurch on left side and my head whips to the left and also i feel a sensation of warmth in my left head which gone after 30 min " I HAAVE IMPACT ON SAME SIDE , SIR ACTUALLY AFTER THOSE TWO INCIDENCE I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING RIGHT WORDS ,FORGETFULLNESS AND TROUBLE SPEAKING AND ITS NOT GOING FOR 1.5 month , DID I lose neuron ? sir can you please evaluate ?
Wondering how concussions relate to increased autism traits
I’ve been told I’ve been dealing with PCS for 7 months now. I stood up really fast and hit my head on my fridge enough to send me back down. I’m confused on how hitting my head on a fridge could possibly be enough force to cause 7 months of pain?
Watch this one for an explanation on that: th-cam.com/video/U138nAb2cZE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dr. Cameron, when we've already experienced a concussion, a subsequent concussion, even if of lesser intensity, can still pose harm. Could you provide a rough threshold estimation (how much G-force) for the force the second impact must exert so to estimate the second force ?
The force required is actually the same for a concussion regardless of how many you've had...according to what we currently know. This video may help explain: th-cam.com/video/U138nAb2cZE/w-d-xo.html
"Hello, Dr. Marshall , myself from university of Massachusetts (MIT), I deeply value your advice and guidance as it played a crucial role in my recovery from a previous concussion. However, I've encountered a recent incident that has left me in need of your advice once again. I wanted to share that I recently experienced a concussion two days ago, and unfortunately, it has occurred again and lso in the same side of head(i.e right to left). I'm wondering, would a sudden sideways motorbike collision with a cycle, causing a forceful movement of my torso ad my head in relative (lateral cervical flexion),can it potentially worsen my previous concussion ?
It's definitely possible...although no one can say for sure. In these cases, the best bet is to treat it like a concussion and do all the things that are required for recovery (balancing autonomics, fixing gut/inflammation, sleep, neck issues, etc.)
I playes now 500 hours Virtual Reality Boxing. There you need to slip dodge very quickly to not get punched. I am not sure if it‘s damaging my brain i never get punched because its not real but i move very quickly my head when the punches come. What do you think. It‘s most of the time back sometimes left or the right.also ist there a way to measure if because i really don‘t want to give up this hobby i want to do this the next years too.
I would encourage you to limit this for many reasons. The shaking yes but TV and yoo mich screen time in VR is dangerous.
Hi Dr. Cameron,😃, you said even a mild second concussion can be harmful when it happens soon after the first one that's still causing issues. So, like, how hard of an impact or how many g-forces applied the second time around would start to cause problems?
Actually, during our ivy final tennis league quarterfinals my teammate whacked me accidentally but hard on the right side of my head with her racket as she fiercely swung at the ball. I felt a little dizzy but taking it lightly I kept playing. However, just 4 days later in the semis, she smacked the very same spot on my noggin again😰 with the racket. It's been 1 month and I'm still feelin' all woozy and cruddy. I'm worried about getting a second impact so soon after the first......
The fact you said a twin trauma soon after the first one can potentially cause permanent damage due to possibly killing of some precious neurons due to lowered energy levels in the brain is freaking out...😬
Can you estimate how much force the second impact in during the symptomatic phase, perhaps in g-forces, in that closed proximity period, at which a second concussion can pose cumulatively harmful effects so that i can assure myself that I didn't take on way worse invisible harm, ya feel? 🙄
Hi angela,😃😃😃 me too got concussion 🤕 same to u
We actually don't know unfortunately...but if you are concerned, initiating a good treatment strategy to tackle inflammatory, metabolic and autonomic issues as soon as possible is your best bet for a quick recovery. Our Concussion Fix program (google it), would be very helpful here!
MMA fighters take on many concussions a lot of the time…
And they turn out fine with rest
How are you feeling now? What are your symptoms?
She is my friend she is in not good right now!
