The chiro realized today I got a concussion during the accident. They put me on the treadmill to see what happened and I almost passed out. I'm not allowed to do anything but walk. Boo. I really would like a break from all this crap, guys.

Oh no, be careful! Do you have any kind of timeline for how long you need to rest, or is it just going to be a day by day thing? I feel all better now (10 days post-minor concussion), but I'm still not going 100% just to be safe.

I'm not sure. At least until late next week. They said I have post-concussion syndrome and things have definitely gotten worse the last few days. I am slow, dizzy, and confused the majority of the time. Thankfully the headaches are infrequent and the fluid in my ears comes and goes and my nose isn't running too much. I am irritable over the most random things which is the worst thing right now.
I finally slept the whole night so I hope that continues and helps things heal.
Please take it easy. If you start feeling dizzy, light headed, headaches, etc. then you need to stop what you are doing. Stick to light cardio for now (as long as it doesn't bring on symptoms). Concussions are no joke! They can take awhile to truely get over
