This is exactly how I feel. My condition has been changing lately, I've been feeling more dizziness, memory issues, migraines, and brain fog. It's very hard for me to think of words sometimes. My ears ring 24/7. My memory issues are bad, I'm very forgetful and I don't really think of old memorys in general, If someone mentions it to me, I'll usually remember it. But if no one says anything about an old memory, it's like I don't have the ability to retrieve it. I just hope I get better, I've been resting since I've gotten home, in hopes that I'll get better one day. It's crazy, there were so many things I took for granted when I wasn't dealing with PCS. I'm forced to live life so slow now, and it's hard for people to understand this as I've had ADHD and focusing problems my whole life. I'm a naturally energetic kid. I know I most likely won't ever be who I was before, but as long as I heal enough to be able to work out and jump around and just remember things to a decent degree, I'll be satisfied. It's time for me to just realize I won't be as intelligent, energetic, and witty as I used to be, but I think I'm okay with that.
