Hi, I'm a 21 years old italian guy who has been in a car crash at relatively low speed in May, Not hitting the hed but suffering a whiplash trauma.
At first i brushed it off (I had no idea that you can injury yourself that way), but two days after I started having miriad of neurological and cognitive symptoms, which got progressively worse over the next few days, such as trouble reading, speaking, thinking, decreased IQ, hypersensitiviy to certain sounds and touches nd occasional numbeness in my hands and feet
The doctors told me that it was not possible to have such problems without hitting the head and that it was stress/anxiety/psicosomatic (the italian medic level is atrocious), which I believed at first, returning to do physical activities (I do martial arts) further aggravating the problem.
After two months of suffering and being unable to function at even an extremely very basic level (after having stupidly trained in martial arts), two weeks my symptoms suddendly disapperead, but today they are seeming to slowly come back after I catch a cold (I hope it is a coincidence...), so searching for answers i have found this forum.
I'm very glad to have find a space where I can confront with people who are/have been trought the same as me.


Sorry If I made some mistakes, english is not my first language.
