I won't lie...I cheated and started playing a simple game on my Android. I was doing fine for a few days and then 2 nights ago while I was in the middle of a game...I suddenly went blank. I couldn't think at all. My mom asked me a question and it was like my brain didn't know how to respond anymore...I was lost for words. This is a new symptom for me.
..its different than my brain fog that I speak of because I can't "feel" my brain being tied in a knot...I'm just blank.

I stopped playing that night. Now, the past two nights I've had the same thing happen to me by just posting a long message on here.

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.
