Fatigue after a concussion
I signed on to be a surveyor. Some Canadian National Railroad Clerk sent me to a Grouting Gang instead and an unhappy laborer dropped a hammer onto my head.
Your brain will seem to have less energy. Even after a little effort, you may feel worn out.
Fatigue is a common symptom following an acquired brain injury. Your brain will seem to have less energy. Even after a little effort, you may feel worn out and unable to go on. Your brain is telling you that you need a rest – listen to it. If you struggle on, you will make yourself even more tired and less able to cope.
NOT ONLY INSURANCE COMPANIES IGNORE BRAIN INJURY BUT SO DO CLERKS, MANDARINS AND FAMILY.

What causes tiredness/fatigue?
Physiological causes
- After an injury, your brain is not able to process information as effectively or efficiently as before (i.e. limited ability to multi-task, decreased processing speed). Mental activity now takes more effort which can result in rapid mental fatigue and feeling overloaded. Your brain has to work harder to do just basic day-to-day activities and your “energy bank” is rapidly depleted. You may find that other symptoms arise or symptoms worsen when you are tired and recovery from your injury may take longer.
