I posted earlier. The only reason I am seeing a neurologist is because I had a seizure prior to the head injury. While in the hospital ER, I had another seizure and the railing on the bed was not up and I fell out of bed landing on my head. The neurologist only recently acknowledged that I had a head injury in the first place. I am on meds for my seizures. I sleep well, almost too well. I love to work out and the past 3 weeks have been going at it all out because I had energy and it really made me feel good. Then, last Friday I got a headache and spent most of the weekend taking naps. I have two younger kids and I don't want them to remember me when they are older as the mom who was always sleeping. I was told at my last visit that I was anemic so I have been taking iron pills. I am trying to get my anti-epilepsy medication straightened out thinking that may have something to do with it. It just gets old really fast!

Yes, it's can you spell FRUSTRATION?

It's normal, but, treatable to an extant.


Do you have any meds? Are you still seeing a neurologist? Do you sleep well?
Do you have sleep apnea? Use a CPap?
I'm not a doctor, but you can see, there are LOTS of things that could be going on!

I wish you the best!

PM me if you wish.
