Very often, like im sure many of you also experience, Ill have incidents which I would likely have not worried about at all pre pcs but now are a huge deal and can cause many symptoms and bad feelings.

Im an active person so the bumps. slips, jolts, etc are bound to happen, im pretty sure its inevitable.

for instance today I was walking and slipped on some icy stairs. Didn't fall or even come close to hitting my head, my feet just slipped on the ice and landed hard on the other step and then fell down that one landing hard on my feet on the pavement at the bottom of the two steps. I immediately knew this would cause issues and sure enough a few minutes later the symptoms were really starting to come on. It only got pregressively worse and worse as the day went on and now the symptoms cognitevily and physically are just really bad.


Stuff like this happens all the time, I usually stop worrying about it and return to baseline and my regular life after a few days to a week or so.


My doctor said that it is normal for these things to perhaps cause symptoms but that they are not 'damaging' to the brain.


I wanted to ask what you guys thought and if you had gotten similar feedback from doctors or something different? What does Mark think since he is the expert?


Are 'setbacks' like these damaging or is our head just extra sensitive and any minor thing can set off symptoms but then its no worse then before once the setback runs its course?


Really appreciate any feedback, hope everyone is well.
