It's been about 22 months since the accident I was in and I'm still dealing with a lot of impairments myself... but I can see that I'm still getting better! I just hate the word "permanent" - it's very scary and hopeless to me...

I think if you're experiencing fogginess after lifting weights, then it's time to stop because an increase in fogginess is definitely a "symptom". Either decrease the amount of weight and see if that helps or stop altogether for a while until you can try to start again.

I would hate to tell you that you can never lift weights again because I can tell you love doing and want to continue. I am craving returning to doing the things that I love to do too.

Maybe you're trying to increase the weight too fast for your new neuronal pathways can handle?

Have you tried doing another kind of fitness and exercise that is less "stressful"? That might help alleviate your desire to lift weights.
