I'm 28 and 3months in. Rubbish, aint it?

I think your 'obsessed' with this symtom becase your body/mind is shouting at you to slow down. My understanding is that you are not getting new concussions with these jolts but are feeling the pain of your old inury. Like...

If you had a nasty bruise on your leg. It will genereally ache but if you poke it, it will hurt. You wouldnt be giving yourself a new bruise but inflaming the old....and delaying healing time.

The nervousness, fear, pain are your bodys signals that something is wrong. We, of course know this, but I think we all get a bit impatient or just expect to be able to return to our old selves/behaviour.

I get that shuddering/zoning out thing you mention if I push myself too much. Last time it was putting some belated bulbs into my mums garden. Big mistake. Do you also get really cold during this, then suddenly start sweating?

Are you in uk? Those doctors sound like they are: anti-deprssents and sleeping pills are the answer for *every* malady due to our contracts with big pharma. Keep us meek and muffled. Try going to an opticians for an eye test, or, um, the people who check your hearing. You dont have to arrange this with a Dr, but if they do find anything of concern they will refer you. Tell them about your injury.

You've got to remember that GP's are only general practionioners, who specialise in little things, all different, like dermatology, to get extra pay. When you speak to them try your best to stay calm, write down the questions and concerns you have. Ask who specialises in this, then push for a referl.

You are not mad. You are hurt. Your body needs to heal and it is trying to communicate this to you. So listen; specialy with what food urges you have, or need for rest.

Good luck!
