Welcome!
I wanted to do Roller Derby so bad but after this last accident I have realized I will just have to watch 
Did you have any symptoms of fuzziness or memory before? If not, does MS run in your family? I wonder if the CSF is just protecting a damaged part of the brain where there is damage.. that is the body's response.. think about a knee or a wrist.. gets inflamed and the fluid builds up...
What part of the country are you in?

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture
Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath
