When Concussion Symptoms Don’t End After Two Weeks | E53

A concussion can change your life in a second, but what happens when the people around you treat it like an excuse? Sarah Wuebbolt joins us to share what it’s really like navigating multiple concussions as a teenager while trying to keep up with school, sports, friendships, and the pressure to “be fine” on a timeline that doesn’t match reality.

We talk about the first concussion that came with old-school advice to hide in a dark room, how isolation can spiral into depression, and why the emotional side of concussion recovery and post-concussion syndrome deserves the same attention as headaches and dizziness. Sarah also explains a surprising cognitive challenge she noticed after later concussions: how holding eye contact during high-effort conversations can trigger symptoms and be misunderstood as not listening.

From vestibular therapy and counseling to meditation, walking, and simple nervous system resets like stepping outside into cold air, we break down tools that helped her build a “new normal” and keep setbacks from defining her progress. We also go deep on school accommodations for concussion recovery, including what to do when a teacher doubts you, how to loop in support staff, and why return-to-learn plans matter. Finally, we zoom out to prevention: Rowan’s Law, baseline concussion testing gaps, and why concussion education should start earlier for every kid, not just contact-sport athletes.

I'm so happy to have you on today. How are you? Great. How are you? I am good. It's nice and sunny and warm here in Wisconsin, so I'm enjoying a bit of a reprieve from the sub-zero temperatures.

Sarah Wuebbolt 1:58

It's a lot better than where it is in Toronto. We are still covered in snow and like 15 degrees. It's not fun.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 2:05

Yeah. I was in Toronto last fall. For the first time ever, I was uh teaching a small group training and I really liked it there. It's a great city. Uh one of the reasons why I wanted to have you on the show was to uh give a voice to somebody yourself who, when they were a teenager, had a series of concussions and still had to navigate going to school and dealing with teachers who maybe didn't always understand very well what you were experiencing or sometimes questioned it. And so can you talk a little bit about kind of when this all started, your background, and and kind of where you are today compared to when you had that initial concussion?

Sarah Wuebbolt 2:47

Well, when I had my initial concussion, I was back in grade five, and that was in 2020. The education even around surrounding brain injuries was very different. Back then, it was still the standard routine of rest, stay in a dark room. Like don't don't do anything, you can't read a book, you can't look at screens, which made that recovery very difficult. When I had my initial concussion, it was just before COVID. So was going through everything, was having a normal year, and then I served out volleyball. It came down, hit the ceiling, came down, hit my head. And that recovery, when I first met my doctors, they didn't really give me a lot of guidance as to even what a concussion was to begin with. I had just learned that you could get a brain injury and then that could derail your entire life. And my doctors weren't really giving me a lot of anything outside of, oh, you should be fine in two weeks and it'll just be a couple of headaches, which in reality it wasn't. It stretched on for six weeks, and the mental side of things, the emotional toll was a lot more hard on me compared to the actual symptoms, due to the fact that it the recommendation at that time was just to stay in a dark room, not do anything, no form of connection. I did settle into a state of depression, which was difficult for me to navigate because you're missing also a very formative part in your life where you're still learning how to make those connections with other people and interact with others on a day-to-day basis that now I was wasn't able to partake in any of that and I was taken away from my normal life.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 4:34

Yeah. And then with that happening right before the pandemic, did your school go into a distance learning for a period of time there where you were forced to be on screens like while you were dealing with the concussion symptoms?

Sarah Wuebbolt 4:48

Luckily, I had my injury came in January of 2020 and it was done about midway through February. I was signed off and said I was no longer concussed. So by the time we went into lockdown during March, I didn't have my injury anymore. And even when I was back at school after like spending my time recovering at home, I still wasn't able to fully fully participate in things like sports, normal assignments, just class time and even like recess. It's like the little things that going into the pandemic in lockdown for the rest of grade five and then grade six being some weird hybrid learning, it was difficult because I didn't have that time to be just a kid before the pandemic for that month, for those two-ish months. And then now we're in the pandemic and no one has that communication.

Light And Noise: Avoid Or Retrain

Dr. Ayla Wolf 5:43

And I know a lot of times the physical symptoms like headaches, neck pain, dizziness, those are the things that get focused on more so than maybe some of the cognitive symptoms that are a little bit harder, more subtle to kind of track and measure, unless you're seeing people who specialize in that. In hindsight, when you say that it took six weeks, do you feel like there were still some residual, either kind of cognitive attention focusing type issues that persisted or emotional symptoms that persisted that maybe you weren't really linking to the concussion at that time?

Sarah Wuebbolt 6:22

Yeah, I looking back now, there definitely were would have been a lot of things A, I would have done differently during my recovery, and B, just like having after my second and third concussion, I started to get a better grasp of my symptoms and understanding what my body was going through. That even looking back now, I think some of those symptoms, because I was still dealing with your normal headaches and sometimes dizziness, but trying if going back now, I would have probably tried to focus more on introducing myself earlier to things like brighter lights and louder noises, as opposed to trying to restrict myself entirely from them. Because even though it is important to like when you have a migraine, and especially if you there are been many times even now living with post-concussion syndrome that I've had a migraine. I don't want to deal with the noise, the sound, but I still put on like my sunglasses. I'll take the pain med just so I can get through my day. But back then, early on in the recovery, I wish I just instead of using the sunglasses and the pain meds, I even as small doses force myself to be into those louder and brighter light situations. Because I find that those symptoms, I think that the recovery might have almost been faster because I'd had I spent less time trying to recover from the new protections I'd built around myself. And then I and instead I would have been spending more time just trying to actively recover. And then with the emotional side of things, looking at just maintaining your mental health after a brain injury and the tunnels that you can go into when it's just you and you have no one else to connect with. I wish I just communicated what I was feeling better, even with my own parents, being able to put more of a voice and just words to the feelings that I was experiencing inside my body, and as opposed to bottling them all up and forcing myself to deal with that state of depression by myself, I think it would have made it a lot easier.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 8:54

And it's hard when you don't have the vocabulary for being able to describe some of the neurological type symptoms in a way that, you know, is um medically accurate, I guess is the the word I'm trying to go for. But when you're 11, like you don't have that vocabulary. And so I could imagine it would be very difficult to try to put words to your experience. What was the timeline between your first, second, and third concussions?

Second And Third Concussions Timeline

Sarah Wuebbolt 9:24

So my first one was in January 2020, my second one, which grade five, and November 2022, grade eight, and then December 2023, so grade nine.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 9:38

Okay.

Therapies That Actually Helped

Sarah Wuebbolt 9:39

What were some of the symptoms that really made school difficult and and kind of interrupted that whole process of education and learning and um so the one in grade eight, that one I feel like it did take take a lot longer than the standard two weeks, which I think it's amazing for the people that are able to recover in two weeks, but there are so many people that are not able to. And I just one thing that I think I would wish for like the healthcare system is just to better share the fact that that timeline is very much it is very open. It could you take you three days and you'll be fine the next weekend to go to school and be at a party or whatever, or it can take you months and years and you'll still be feeling those symptoms. But my so my second concussion, I had your typical, I guess, headache, light sensitivity. After my second concussion, I think one of the odder symptoms that I wouldn't really have expected was now when I like even to this day, I find that when I'm having a conversation, especially one that involves me having to do a lot of thought, putting a lot of thought into my responses and having information coming at me and then me having to formulate a response and send the information back, I find it incredibly difficult to be able to hold eye contact during those conversations, which honestly makes it a lot difficult. It's very difficult for the person that I'm conversing with. Cause when you're not really holding eye contact with someone, the other person believes that you're not listening to them. I can't really explain it, but it takes that concentration. And then now I'm also asking my brain to be able to like think on its feet and formulate that response to whatever the question that's being posed on me or whatever that person is saying, which makes it, which I found has been a lot difficult difficult more difficult since that concussion. And even when I was dealing with it during that concussion, it would always almost bring up symptoms for me, which is something I didn't expect.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 11:46

And what kinds of therapies have you done kind of over the course of the last couple of years?

Sarah Wuebbolt 11:54

I've done lots of physiotherapy trying to help with the dizziness and the stibular functions. And yeah, I did counseling a lot too, which was very helpful to kind of work through some of the residual not symptoms, but just some of like the grudges I was almost holding against myself and others oh throughout all the recoveries and times that I found people have doubted me, and I just haven't really like I didn't feel comfortable maybe share, or I couldn't put the words to what I wanted to share, whole working through that and other therapies. I also one of the things like stuff in terms of just doing it at my house, I found meditation to be very helpful, especially recently. I'd like having those few moments a day just to like reconnect with myself and focus on my breath, and also walking a lot. One of the things I found, especially with sucking confession that I didn't expect to really work, was go just being able to go outside and feel like really cold wind on my face. Just really it decompressed my nervous system and just got like rid of headaches and dizziness very quickly. And that's something I still do today when I have symptoms come up, especially if I'm at school. Like I have a learning plan that I made sure allowed me to be able to leave class and go for these walks outside when I need to, or even just like sit out in the quad or school and feel the cool air on my face.

A Teacher Says She’s Faking

Dr. Ayla Wolf 13:31

Yeah, I mean, that is great that you've figured out these tools that are free and easily accessible that really make a difference for you in the moment at such a young age to be able to know that you have access to that and can use it effectively is amazing. Was there like one particular moment in time that stood out to you or still kind of sticks in your mind where you were experiencing either a teacher or someone that just wasn't taking you seriously in terms of your symptoms or or your need to kind of do things differently?

Why Two-Week Recovery Myths Harm

Sarah Wuebbolt 14:04

Yeah, when I had so when I had my second concussion, at that point in time, I you're still mandated to take your normal gym class at my school. I was, I'd emailed my teacher ahead of time, just trying to explain, like I have an injury now, and we were in our dance unit, which had a lot of fast thinning movements to like choreograph a dance and then perform it for the class. So I'd emailed her, explaining the fact that I concussion, provided the medical documentation, and asked for an alternate assessment. So I'd still be able to get my mark. I just obviously couldn't do that, couldn't do like a full gym class. And she didn't respond to those emails. When I tried to talk to her again about it in person, she her response to me was that she's seen other kids fake their injuries before to get out of things like gym class and because I didn't want to participate, so therefore I must have been faking it too. Which I like yeah, it's it's frustrating. And then also it's just like when you're 14 and someone's telling you that, especially a teacher, there's no way, there's no easy way to respond to that happening, and someone telling that to you. There's no one response that would even that even popped into my head in that moment. I had just been trying to advocate for myself and explain my injury and what I was going through, and being met with someone told telling me I'm faking it, especially someone that you like I basically looked up to and saw as an authority figure that was trustworthy and was like help hoping it was trying to work in my best interest. And then being told you're faking it, it was difficult. And after that moment, I still persevered. Immediately after it was very difficult for me to be to do anything in the moment. And so I kind of shut down and I accepted what she said, assuming that I was faking it, and I went back and participated in the rest of that class, even though it aggravated symptoms. But later that evening and the following weeks and days that came, I started emailing and I looped in my guidance counselor, my school health team, other like the school physiotherapist and the heads of my grade. And I was fortunately able to finally fight for the accommodation that I deserved and being able to take an alternate assessment and being able to go and use our gym, like some of our gym class time and our lunches to go and get the mandated physiotherapy that I needed to be able to recover and actually get back to a gym class.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 16:59

Um yeah, that's really tough. And going back to what you said earlier about when you when you read the research, they're like, oh, well, 30% of people may, you know, go on to have lingering symptoms. And yet it does seem like so often the world only pays attention to the 70% that are supposedly supposed to just miraculously be back to normal in 14 days. And it's like, that's just not how the world works. And we can't just because 70% heals in 14 days, doesn't mean we get to ignore the 30% and act like they don't exist. And I feel like that's so many people's experience, and it is very frustrating. There was a big study that came out not that long ago that was looking at concussions in college students, and they were finding that even that 14-day window is not uh very realistic, and that in many, many cases, the majority of people need at least 30 days, and that again, there's always still that cohort of people that are going to take much longer than 30 days. But um, so even just this idea that you get a concussion or brain injury and you're totally fine in 14 days, um, that's just not a lot of people's experience.

Turning Pain Into Purpose

Sarah Wuebbolt 18:14

Even like the amount of my friends that have also had concussions, whether it be from sports or something else, and like especially for me, seeing them being able to move through, because in Canada we have this like mandated stages of concussion recovery plan. And I also don't really I don't think that plan is at all indicative of what actual recovery looks like. Like just saying it for 24 hours, you can you should just be walking, and then if you get no symptoms, you can go to the next stage of the recovery plan until you get back like all the way into sports and all the way to school. Some people move through that so fast and it's just like checking off boxes for them. But then when I fell into, I found a rabbit, I found myself falling into a rabbit hole where I would compare myself, my recovery to their recoveries, which kind of went back into the mental toll and the emotional toll, the symptoms that we were talking about earlier. It was difficult because you see all these people recovering super fast, and it's like, why can't I do the same? I just want to get back to my normal life. And then that also makes other people it makes it a lot more difficult for other people to understand you because, like you said, the world doesn't work that way. We're just focusing on these people that can recover in two weeks. And it's so publicly talked about that you can all recover in two weeks or like you should be fine. Just like if you get symptoms, feel it can spend take a little bit longer, but I doubt you will. Like you're probably only gonna get a headache, just rest. It's you're just leaving out this whole other group of people who now is still dealing with recovery and making it so much harder for them to be able to explain their symptoms because now everyone has these preconceptions that, oh, you're it's just like it's just a concussion, you know. You probably need some rest. It is obviously your brain, it's not great, but I feel like you'll definitely be fine. Like, no, we're not fine.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 21:12

Yeah. And how did this experience shape how you look at your future in terms of your interest in, you know, education and career?

Sarah Wuebbolt 21:25

Well, especially after my second one and my third ones, and being told that I was faking it, it really put it into perspective for me that lots of doctors and other adults in the world will say that same thing to other kids like me, and those kids might not be able to advocate for themselves. So it kind of changed how I want to think about my future, and now I know I want to definitely become a doctor that is there for their patients, and whether it be in the field of neurology or something else, just knowing that I can be the voice, especially for teenagers and other kids that helping them work through these things with adults that don't believe them, other people that don't believe them, being a person a doctor who understands what they're going through and is willing, ready be to be there and support them through it.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 22:26

That's wonderful. And I know that you have an Instagram account where you are trying to also, right now, in this moment, still, you know, get good information out there to other people and to kind of share your story, but let other people know that they're not alone. Um, what's that experience been like? Have you gotten a lot of feedback?

Sarah Wuebbolt 22:47

Yeah, so at first it was a little bit nerve-wracking. It was like, what am I doing? Just sharing this all on social media. Does anyone actually want to know about this? Like, especially in the past year, it has it's probably it's probably one of my favorite things about my life having that Instagram account. It's just like this other community that I've found that understands what I'm going through and I understand what they're going through. And even if it's not like not just outside of all the the posts I make at trying to educate others and share my experience, getting like DMs from people saying that this resonated with me, and then just going back and forth and sharing our experiences. And it's so interesting because I've met So many people and had the opportunity to speak to so many people that have had completely different like their injuries have been so different than mine, their recoveries have been so different. It's gonna be such a different perspective on it that I like had my own perspective and trying to share my own experience from the things I've gone through. But now I see so many other people that have gone through so much harder things and come out like as obviously not unscathed, but they're still there, they're stronger than ever. That it also is a bit of an inspiration for me to keep going, especially when I find that times get tough. And it's like I just would have wished that this had never happened to me. But in reality, like as much as there's so many times that I would just say, like, I don't, I wish I never served that volleyball. I wish I never like went skiing and got that other concussion or had a door slam into my face. Like, even though I have those days, it just reminds me that you know what this sucks, and but I kind of have to deal with it. There's no changing that I can't go back and change the past. I can just take what's been given to me and connect with others in that way.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 24:53

And where are you symptom-wise and and other things that are still very much uh daily struggles or less frequent struggles?

Sarah Wuebbolt 25:05

Uh I'd say less frequent. I still get symptoms, like when I get symptoms, they're pretty bad. And I'll still have days where I have the really bad headaches, the bad migraines. But I've been able to get a lot back to my new normal version of life. I've been able to become what a normal teenager should be. Having fun hanging out with friends, doing sports, academics, all of that. There just there are days where I'll still get symptoms, and it is still completely frustrating seeing that like I've made all this good progress, like whether it be weeks and I'm just only getting like minor headaches, and then you have this day where it's just like it is it's a setback, but at the same time, I've been trying to reframe, like, reframe that way of viewing it, just it's like another, it's a little bump in the road, it's a little hill that I have to get over that then I can continue growing from. So symptoms, when they're there are not great.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 26:15

Do you feel like stress is a huge factor? Like when you look at the days when you do have uh a really bad headache or migraine, can you kind of trace that back to different things about how your week went or sleep or stress or diet?

Sarah Wuebbolt 26:31

Yeah, a lot of times I can trace it back to sleep. My sleep schedule, I grow every pretty much every morning. So I am going to bed at 8 30 and waking up at 4 30, which is crazy to a lot of people, but um the times where I find myself I've had a week where I'm just doing like whether it'd be a lot of studying or something else, and I don't have the chance to get what my eight hours of sleep a night, even if it's between seven and eight, that's kind of what I found to be my sweet spot. I can sit some a lot of times trace symptoms back to that, waking up with headaches and like I know that this isn't the amount of sleep that I need.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 27:15

Yeah. I when I was in college at the University of Minnesota, my friend had asked if I wanted to drop in and train with her rowing team. And of course, the women's team had to train at 4 30 in the morning on on the river. And so I I didn't know that at first. And I was like, Oh, I'd love to come and do a practice with you guys. And she's like, Great, it's at 4 30 a.m. And I'm like, Great, I changed my mind. I'm like, I don't think so.

Sarah Wuebbolt 27:41

Yeah, the the early mornings definitely took adjustment. I think my parents hate it a lot more than I do, but are you a junior now?

Dr. Ayla Wolf 27:49

Yes. Junior. Okay. Are you looking at colleges?

Sarah Wuebbolt 27:54

Or not? Yeah, see, my my perspective on my future plans is I know I'm gonna apply to places. Like it's not like I'm not gonna do that. I'll apply to the US, Canada, UK, and then you know what? I'll get my rejections, I'll get my wait lists, I'll get my acceptances, and then I'm gonna figure out where I'll end up. Sure. I sure I know that there's lots of people my age that have everything figured out and they're like, I know this is my top school, and this is gonna be my backup, and I'm gonna E D here, EA there. I'm like, I don't I'll see.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 28:30

I know I want to go into medicine, but wherever I end up Yeah, well, you can do that in lots of places.

Rowan’s Law And Better Prevention

Sarah Wuebbolt 28:39

Well, is there anything else that you wanted to talk about? In Canada we have this thing called Rowan's Law. It was created because of this person named Rowan Stringer who she was a football player, she got a concussion, and then didn't really do anything about it, had the headache, and then went back, played another game, got a couple more. It was, I don't know, I remember how many more concussions it was in a really short period of time. And unfortunately, she ended up dying from that because she had the internal bleeding. And from that, a lot of new legislation came out regarding education. Even like for me, at the start of our school year, we always kind of a talk about concussions. Like, if you see something, you have to record it. Talk to your sports coach, your teacher, or whatever, a trusted adult. But just doing that like once at the start of the year for 30 minutes is not enough at all. If I would if I had like my way, I would mandate a new education program. So situations like this didn't happen anymore.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 29:43

Yeah. Well, and I know at least in the United States, a lot of high schools make it mandatory for in certain sports for people to do a baseline concussion test before the season starts. But at the junior high level, so kids that are in like sixth, seventh, eighth grade, they don't have to do that. And there's still concussions happening there, and then you don't really have any baseline data to compare them to as far as balance and memory and things like that. And so there's there's still a lot of kids that kind of fall through the cracks in that regard. And then I hear too sometimes that some of these baseline tests at the beginning of the season might just be a simple pen and paper test, and so they aren't super robust in their ability to even detect, you know, the aftermath of a concussion. So I do think the more concussion-informed uh teachers and uh athletic coaches can be the better. And especially in the sports, you know, obviously with football and rugby and lacrosse and hockey, they're very much aware of it. But then there's a lot of other sports like volleyball or dance or cheerleading where concussions are very common and yet they're just not, there's no athletic trainers sitting by the sidelines at a volleyball game typically, uh, like there is in a football game, right? And so there's just a lot of uh, I think girls' sports and certain types of sports where they just don't have that level of um awareness or screening that happens with other sports.

Sarah Wuebbolt 31:15

Yeah, and I think a lot of that also amounts to the fact that concussions also can happen in so many different ways. Like, obviously, if you hop you're playing a heavy contact sport, uh you see like someone get tumbled in the head, like chances are they have a concussion. But like what about all the times when someone just is like going about their day, slips on a bunch of ice and like falls on their butt now? Then they probably that person probably doesn't even know that. Oh, I can get a brain injury from that. Even I found that, especially I when I came up to my second and especially my third concussion, I kind of got it and I I was skiing, I hit a piece of ice, I flipped and I landed on my head. And I kind of knew in the moment I was like, I don't feel right, this feels like I have a concussion. But that took me three recoveries to get to that point. Like I had to go through all the symptoms and dealing with that two other times before I could be in the moment. I'm like, yeah, I should not be on this hill anymore right now. I'd probably have another concussion. For the people that don't that come into this injury their first time and they don't even know what their own symptoms are, because why would you? It's not like we get taught in school. Okay, so you'll you have a you'll have a concussion if your head feels like this. Like it there just needs to be more education, period, and just more information shared.

Dr. Ayla Wolf 32:41

Yeah. My friend and I wrote a children's book uh that's was about concussions to have an educational tool. And then we just kind of got stuck on actually finding an illustrator for the book. So we're just kind of sitting on this idea. We've got the book, we've got the actual text. Uh, and then every time I think about it, I'm like, man, we really need to get that moving forward. And then of course I get distracted by all the other stuff. So maybe someday we'll publish our children's book about head injuries. Um, because yeah, I do think that we need more tools so that even kids that are eight years old can be like, oh, my mom read me this book, and I remember that it was important to pay attention to these symptoms. And so if my friend, you know, crashes on their bike and all of a sudden they're throwing up or they're dizzy and they can't walk straight, I know what to do. Um, so someday, someday we'll make that happen.

Sarah Wuebbolt 33:39

No, I think that'd be amazing.

Closing Thoughts And Disclaimer

Dr. Ayla Wolf 33:40

Like the earlier we can educate people about brain injuries, I think, the more important is I I have distinct memories of being in kindergarten and learning not to turn the hair dryer on while standing in the bathtub full of water, right? It's like those safety lessons that you learn in kindergarten. Uh, well, they stick with you for a reason because they're gonna save you, save your life. So maybe we just slide some concussion education in there as well over the years. Yeah. Uh well, um, it's been great to have you on the show.
