kaseyjetpilot,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

First issue. I took gabapentin (1200 mgs at first before bed) for hypnagogic jerks. It worked well. I still take 300 mgs to help my body let go. Time for my dose.

Second, sleeping on a couch is not advised. Strange sleep positions can cause neck inflammation that can disrupt sleep quality and breathing making it so you have sleepy spells during the day. If you have access to a recliner, you should be able to sleep in a safer position. Your head and neck should be as in-line as possible.

Living at altitude with multiple concussions can be a problem for many. The compromised brain does not absorb oxygen well.

Some people with PCS experience a symptom called postural rigidity where the abdominal/thoracic muscles spasm.

Are you taking any meds?

You should read the Vitamins sticky at the top and follow the link to the update on page 46.
