Guys, thank you so much for the quick responses!

JBuck - I have been taking fish oil the past few months, but not in that high dose. I'll try to take a few tonight, and take a higher dose tomorrow and the next few days. I'll take anything at this point to help. Thanks for the link!

Mark - After reading a lot of posts, I too thought that maybe the problem was a PTSD/anxiety neurological response to that kind of stimuli, but I've kind of ruled it out. I have actually done some research on neuroplasticity and I've learned a bit about how certain receptors, through continued use, can hijack other parts of your brain to perpetuate similar problems (like pain, dizziness, or whatever) so that it feels like it's a similar situation even during normal functions, or during a trigger. So I understand what you're saying. The last time a few weeks back when I got my fourth concussion, I was slurring words, my pupils were dilated, I was throwing up, I was really messed up for at least 2 solid weeks...typically not just anxiety stuff lol Even today I've been basically bedridden, typing this response message is the first time I've gotten up since I wrote that last post.

I don't normally take benzos or anything like that, but I do have a few klonopin and I experimented the past few days to see that if I was sedated whether some of my symptoms would go away. Unfortunately none of them have...although, I guess I was relaxed to feel "better" about it. I had to take a phone call an hour ago, after 5 minutes of the call, I was dizzy, my head was pounding, nausea, blurred vision...do you think these could be part of a "memorized symptom phenomena"?

I had an MRI done last month (of course they found nothing), but the girl at the concussion rehab center thinks that my brain is extremely sensitive to stimuli of any kind. Even a tiny sip of caffeine has the impact to me of someone drinking a pot of coffee. I can't even take an SSRI since it will immediately give me serotonin toxicity syndrome (I was in ICU because of that once). I joke that I should be in a medical textbook...and then I have a good cry.

I trust your judgement about these kinds of things, if you think it's safe. I have no problems dealing with headaches, pain, nausea, or whatever. My only concern is "will this cause me another concussion". Temporary setbacks I can deal with, it's more brain damage that I'm scared about. I know for sure I have whiplash as well, so I'm thinking about getting a neck brace to be safe.

As an aside, I saw this today, maybe it's been shared on this forum before ** without the spaces. They're developing a collar that supposedly will increase the blood in your brain, to give your brain slightly more cushion from rocking around as much I wish this was something I could hurry up and buy already
