I have always been told by doctors that the damage to my brain would be worse if I lost consciousness, so that's new to me that it doesn't really affect my symptoms. And yeah, having had so many I've given up all sports, exercise, and other activities that could easily cause any more. I guess I was just hoping that like the other times I would be okay in a month or two but maybe I need to be more patient.

I have a family friend who has a great chiropractor and herbalist that I'm gonna look into trying next week. I haven't heard of NUCCA before but it looks interesting so maybe I'll do a little more research on that.

Also the main issues I'm having this time around are of course headaches, trouble falling asleep, not feeling rested when I wake up with less than 9 hours of sleep, depressing feelings/thoughts that come out of nowhere, loss of appetite (I have to make myself eat even if I'm not hungry) more emotional, more cranky and impatient, long-term memory loss (which seems to be improving), trouble with short-term memory (I have to write down everything or else I forget), ability to concentrate on anything for longer than an hour or two is gone, easily distracted, tired out after just showering and doing my hair/makeup when I feel up to it, feeling weak (hard time with this since I've always been an athlete and never had a problem lifting heavy things or opening jars or other screw on tops), rare issues with balance, and mild eyesight issues (I already have glasses so used to sometimes getting blurry eyed when tires). I think that's most of everything I'm having issues with, but I could be forgetting something. haha.

I just don't see how I can keep going with just lounging around the house and sleeping so much. I'm constantly bored and I'm used to being busy all the time. I do some minor chores around the house when I feel up to it especially cooking and baking since that's what I've been going to school for and it doesn't bother me much since it comes so natural to me. Since I'm bored I'm on my computer a lot watching movies or tv episodes since reading books hurts my head more. I don't know if the computer hurts my recovery but I don't know what else I can do to keep somewhat busy? Being able to be somewhat productive is the only thing that's keeping me sane right now...
