so to all the other loud ppl out there......"Shoooooosh!!!!"
I'm constantly telling the other members of my household to "Shoooosh"!!

On a bad day I'm extremely sensitive to any kind of stimulation. If people are making noise in the house it could make my symptoms a lot worse. So, don't be upset. Your husband is just trying to protect himself from having his symptoms increased.

Good luck and "Shooooosh"!!!!!

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.
