I was able to sleep a lot, now im not able to sleep in days, just lay down and rest.

Well about doctors, i already heard several opinions, thats why im here.

Since you got attacked, maybe you know anything about huge shaking ? or its just im stressed out cause i couldnt do anything about it
Are you experiencing any anxiety type symptoms?

I started having massive anxiety attacks starting in September...they were horrible. I would shake uncontrollably for hours, sometimes days. It could be a number of things though...what kind of shaking is it? Chills? Muscle spasms? Once I started taking medicine to control my anxiety, the shaking went away.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
