Maverick,

Welcome to NT. As vini said, long post are problematic for many of us. I pasted your post into MSWord and broke it up and was able to read most of it.

Your long post is a classic symptom of PCS as is getting long winded when talking. We tend to loose track of time and such and go on and on.

It sounds like you have a case of PCS. The ups and downs are a result of your over-doing it at work and such. Your neck needs to be looked at. An Upper Cervical Chiropractor will be helpful or a NUCCA or Atlas Orthagonal chiropractor to be specific. They are specialist in the highest cervical vertebra. They can go overboard with this but the basics of getting your Atlas and C-2 working is important.

A chiropractor who uses Activator techniques may also be helpful if you cannot find an Upper Cervical in your area.

You need to down load and read the TBI Survival Guide at http://www.drakecenter.com/file.axd?...vivalGuide.pdf or read it online at www.tbiguide.com

You will go Ah Ha as you recognize your symptoms. Your are ahead of the game with your nutrition. Add some B6 and B12, folate, omega-3's and the anti-oxidants to your diet. An injured brain needs lots of good nutrition.

And, continue to get good rest. That means you have pleasant dream. If you have stressful dreams, you will not benefit from the rest. Think of the 'after-glow' sleep guys are so maligned for.

Let us know how you are doing. After reading Dr Johnson's TBI Guide, you will hopefully be able to better explain your symptoms and struggles. Have your girlfriend read it too. Notify your employer of your condition and get a Work Comp claim started. Even if you never pursue it, get it started just in case you have long term symptoms.

And, relax, rest and don't get exited or anxious. It is counter-productive to recovery and counter to getting doctors to take you seriously. Your symptoms are normal. You are not going crazy. If you feel spacey, say to yourself, It is just the concussion. I need to get some rest.

My best to you.
