I can relate --blame TBI that occured last year; Cognitive and other problems have persisited including many you refer to.
from things like food not tasting right to problems thinking & doing - to that surreal gray fogginess and more....things that weren't problems before TBI....
so much that's difficult to understand; express... I still struggle to get my racing thoughts into written & spoken words. go back & make corrections & deletions... struggle with other Cognitive & mental process--memory, recall, problem solving, decision making; emotional volitility, hypersensivity, and too much more to detail...
I too feel confused , and isolated....
i do Blame last TBI for most of the brain related dysfunctions that compromise my Life now
my Losses & many medical problems began when I was hit by car 10+yrs ago. TBI then seemed to resolve while chronic pain & other neuro issues worsened. "smaller" head injurys/concussions that occured in between, mostly from falls, 'drop attacks' -players, but proverbial straw that broke the camels back seems to be last years whack in head w/ loss of consciousness.
--whether that or cumulative affects of several TBI or other "pre-disposing" factors--including my situation & personal stressors as primary Livein Carer for terminally parents-- or all together-- very challenging....
wondering what your story is--when, how did TBI occur?? other affects?? questions??
while we may not have [all] the answers, folks here have shared experiences & empathy; caring support; research, info-- to educate & advocate..
Learning, educating self, and others, about TBI is vital.
many LINKS cited thuout Forum can help.... understanding how the brain can be injured & affects and more about TBI...
