Default Article on Controlling Overstimulation #2
I found another great article on controlling overstimulation.

This is exactly what happens to me...the description could not fit me any better. My problem, though, is my threshold changes so much. One day I can handle a visit to the grocery store...and the next day, I can't even handle a walk around my complex. Another day...I'll have a 30 minute conversation on the phone, and another, not even 5 minutes.

I'm hoping this program that I'm in will increase my threshold...and/or teach me some good tricks to control it.

Check it out...some good information 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.
