Chitowndizzy, I'm not taking any meds that should have this type of cause and effect. Although, I have asked my neuro if the anti-seizure meds could be lending to it. He doesn't think so, but I'm always sceptical about any "brain" med and if they really know all of the effects on the brain.

Katie, you said:

"On the other hand, if you walked up to me and told me you hated me and all the reasons why, chances are that it simply wouldn't register. I wouldn't feel anything positive or negative about it. It might suddenly register several days later, but often I can talk about big issues in life and why they're matters of concern without actually feeling anything about them."

That's exactly how I feel. When it's something I "should" be angry about. Like right now, I'm dealing with my lawyer and the insurance company about benefits not being paid the way they should be...Before my BI, I would have walked up one side of their rear-ends and down the other giving them a piece of my mind. Not anymore...Whatever I'm feeling is so dulled that it's easy to just shrugg it off. The only exception might be if someone were harming one of my loved ones, I think that might wake the dragon in me lol!

ConcussedJ, Thanks for sharing that story...It soooo belonged here. I can hardly wait to share it with my family. And bravo to Matt Dunigan for putting it out there to the public and raising awareness.
