Default What are the chances that I have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy?

Something that's been bothering me lately is that question.

Also worried about Parkinson's Disease.

Reason I'm worried about it is because I'm having symptoms beyond Post-Concussion Syndrome.

I've been having some severe tremors, and also there is something going on that is really hard to explain. I'll be fine, feeling good for a few days then all of a sudden my mind will literally feel like it's gone mad. I'll be confused, have trouble walking, my right arm will feel...off as far as coordination (like it will feel weird holding something in that hand, like it's offset). Feels like something is attacking my brain. This happened to me last night and I'm still feeling the effects of it today. I'm feeling real confused, I couldn't even talk to the receptionist at my neurologists office over the phone this morning. I woke up this morning literally confused and feeling like I had amnesia. Light dementia?

My last CT was in October I believe, I had blood work done in the ER a few weeks back - both came back clean. I had an MRI done yesterday with contrast and I get the results of that today. If this is something more than PCS will it show in the MRI?

I might of had a concussion before, I mean, I hit my head of course when I was younger and I was jumped when I was about 18-19 but I didn't end up hospitalized or have any concussion symptoms. My most recent injury was in June - had a 1cm bleed contusion and hematoma.
