I was told my brain does not process glucose like someone without a brain injury. I feel like I'm on the edge of understanding the things that are wrong but I've been on that edge for nearly a year. I can describe symptoms but can't grasp the why. ?
Does that help? I feel at a loss to explain. I could play the word game easier.

Are you really sensitive to stimulation? I've noticed that any type of bright flourescent lighting will immediately shut down the prefrontal cortex of my brain allowing me to have no processing capabilities what so ever.
When you said you have to rest in a quiet dark place, I can certainly relate to having to do so. My head would feel numb, overstimulated, full of water, and I would just need to avoid any type of stimulation that would trigger any response. Eventually usually after a couple of hours it would start to go away and I would be able to half way function once again.
If you do think this bothers you, look into Irlens Syndrome. You could possibly have it.
Just offering some thoughts, maybe you can handle stimulation just fine. It is researched that 55 percent of people that get a concussion are light sensitive and if you have PCS then it is almost certain that you do.
Sorry if your just looking for metabolic answers, but I just went to a specialist to get this corrected with specialized lenses and the change is extremely profound. No headaches, nausea, less fullness in head, less fatigue, and can focus much better on anything that involves light. Reading, watching tv, computer work, etc.
Anything else I can help with, I'd be glad to offer any insight if I have the ability to do so.
