These symptoms seem to have subsided after about ,two-years.

Since then I have noticed I increasing long and short-term memory problems, difficulty focusing, difficulty completing tasks, decreased impulse control (including problems with my temper), and difficulty learning new tasks. In addition, I lack motivation, and have little or no desire to spend any time with family or friends.

I'm 57 now, and in all honesty I attributed these 'problems' to aging. Then an associate made a comment about the possibility the problems I'm still experiencing could very well be connected to that simple bump on the head.

Am I just getting old and worn out, or is there any truth to my associates comments about it possibly being related to an old, seemingly mild injury?
