Not so long ago, many thought this of serious neurological disorders like M.S. and other conditions. THOSE types of ideas were silly.

Sam, you present as very logical. Your thinking, as you present here, is clear and organized.

I do understand your concerns about what may be causing these experiences you have described. It's "normal" to have concerns about these experiences.

I am glad you are getting your thyroid fully checked out.

Any migraine headaches? Any migraine headache history in your mother's/father's family? Any migraine headaches before or since your concussion?

Any other type of headaches?

Have you had EEG testing, where they place leads on your scalp?
If so, were these tests done with a strobe light as well as without a strobe light?

Any "odd" odors or smells noticed, odors others do not notice -- maybe like smoke or burning rubber, or another you can describe?

Any "odd" changes noted within your field of vision? Any tunnel vision? Any objects changing sizes, becoming larger or smaller as you look at them? Any other visual symptoms? Any flashing lights, any visual auras?

How well do you sleep?

I hope you have a fun weekend!
Anything special planned?

We are all here for you, Sam.
I honestly feel you will find an answer(s) and relief.

Love and Prayers of Support,
DejaVu

Hi DejaVu!

I appreciate your support and I'm just going to jump into your questions.

No headaches really, my mother has had awful migraines all her life, and started when she was around my age. I had a bad headache the first week or two way back in October when I got the concussion.


I have at times smelled odd burning and weird smells, and I would ask my dad, "hey dad do you smell that?" And he would say "No I don't smell anything".



I've always had trouble sleep since I was a little kid. Still do. Normally, I just take a meletonin or two and it Usually gets the job done.


And no visual symptoms. At least that I can think of.



The doctors office for checking out my iodine levels and my thyroid are busy. And they still haven't gotten back to us about scheduling a appointment..



I just want to get better.
