yogismom,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Your symptoms sound quite common. I don't understand the 'sound like a stroke victim.' Is your speech slurred or slowed or garbled ? Or do you have word finding struggles ?

I suggest you find some manual activities to keep busy with. Playing solitaire, knitting, or anything where the primary activity is with your hands, not your mind, will give your brain just enough stimulation for good blood flow without causing cognitive stress. The concept is the hands can not move faster than an injured brain can process easily.

Is you CST doing any neck work ? Often, concussions are made worse by upper neck injuries that go undiagnosed and untreated. Any upper neck treatment should be very gentle. It also helps to adopt very careful and disciplined head and neck posture habits, especially when resting or sleeping. Try to rest with your neck in good alignment.

Please feel free to tell us or ask us anything. We are here for you.

My best to you.
