Symptoms in Dreams
Do you have symptoms of TBI in your dreams?
I usually don't...I'm usually my previous self in my dreams.
Except for this morning...I had a dream that I went to visit my friend in New York. The whole time I was stuttering and having trouble talking and getting sentences out right. I even turned down a glass of vodka and orange juice because I didn't want to make my symptoms worse lol.
I hope this doesn't become a regular thing. The only time I get any relief is when I'm sleeping. I usually enjoy my dreams because I don't have any symptoms in them...and with the medicine I'm taking, they are usually pretty fun and vivid.

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.
