I was able to exercise well for the first year. During that year, my main issues were facial neuropathy from damage to a branch of my trigeminal nerve likely severed when I was scalped in the accident.

After about 11 months, my ability to handle hot yoga rather suddenly seemed to change. I was unable to afford thc/cbd for about a year. I also was unable to afford yoga. The pain was terrible that year. I took large and frequent doses of OTC pain relievers to make it through day and night. When I resumed yoga, my exercise intolerance, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, and heavy headedness (feels like a swollen brain) was debilitating. Any temperatures over 104 seem to worsen it. I crave cold temps on my head.

Since I resumed THC and CBD, my OTC pain reliever use is lower.

I am very preoccupied now on just getting through the day without hurting too much.

As far as neck injury, I don’t think so. I woke up after the accident. I don’t know how long I was unconscious. I called for help and I fell.unconscious again in the ambulance. I was.in a coma or unconscious in and out for a couple days.

I am now without any insurance or income. Maybe next year I will have a way to get a brain scan. I have never had scans after my crash.

My blood pressure is historically very low, not higher than 110/70. My diet is unusually low in salt. Caffeine- I generally cannot tolerate caffeine or energy drinks. I have forgotten what happens with energy drinks (my memory problems from the accidrnt) but I did indeed identify ingredients in UpTime energy drink and Sport Oxylent energy packets as being particularly detrimental for me.
