Could it be seizures?
My neurologist still seems to think what I'm experiencing is seizures. We haven't found a seizure medication yet that doesn't have a severely negative effect on me...so we don't know yet???
I guess it would make sense, since seizures can cause permanent brain damage.
I haven't experienced a full blown seizure and nobody has told me that I've had one...I do have some random tingling in my extremeties, mainly my head. Could those be seizures? I'm also still unable to handle watching TV without the part of my brain that controls my thinking and speech "seizing up" immediately. No convulsions, no twisting and turning or anything...Just brain fog, mild tremors and random tingling in extremeties.
I've had a clear EEG 3 times.
Could it be seizures??? Any thoughts on this???

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.
