After a couple of games last night, I got really spacey and got a feeling of derealization. I turned the game off and it wouldn't go away so I went to bed.
Today, I woke up and its still there. I feel derealized, spacey and my left frontal lobe is pulsating and burning inside my head. Weird.
I'm gonna wait till I start NCEP and see what they have to say...They might have some kind of therapy for this. I'm gonna wear myself out before I even get there.
So frustrating.
Valleybob - He didn't prescribe me any medication. He actually said he was going to treat me as if I was having seizures since the EEG's came back clear, but after I described the feeling I get when I watch TV...and the fact my cognitive problems are constant and only get worse with TV, he said it sounds likes its psychological. So, no meds from him.
I have a ton of anti-seizure medication called Gabapentin... I haven't taken it since October...and I also haven't taken it since this problem started. But, I really don't think its seizures because I've read and heard from others they last a couple seconds...not the whole time you watch TV. I also don't lose consciousness. I'm fully aware that I'm becoming spaced out and foggy.
What happens when you watch TV? If its the same thing as me...your the first person I've ran into that shares my struggles.

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.
