Overview
- Ryan disclosed Thursday that five past concussions culminated in a severe brain injury a few years ago that left her “out of commission” for roughly six months.
- She says the fifth concussion produced sustained shaking and sharply worsened long‑running migraines, making bright light and normal sound overwhelming.
- After about six months of neurological rehabilitation that she describes as unsuccessful, Ryan pursued what she called a “fringe science” treatment that partly restored function but did not return everything.
- Ryan reports ongoing limits on work and daily tasks and says she relies on family support from husband Josh Dun, daughter Felix, and friends as she manages persistent symptoms.
- Coverage is based on Ryan’s on‑record interview on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals and her first‑person account; no independent medical records or outside clinical statements were included in the reports.
