rochbo,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Hearing about someone falling on ice gives me the willies.

I bet you drive a stick shift car. You likely had too many tasks to do at the same time. Multi-tasking is not a skill we have. I have had the same freeze at an intersection. I was trying to make a right turn and there were too many different things I needed to pay attention to. Working the clutch and shifting was a bit too much.

Now, I only drive on my good days.

Those morning when you feel like lead may be due to poor sleep or even poor breathing while sleeping. Do you have stressful dreams some nights?

Do you wake up with a stiff neck?

There can be upper neck inflammation that can mess up blood flow during sleep and mess up your day.

Have you had time to rest quietly to help your brain heal? If you have not rested, it is hard to recover.

Tell us more about your struggles and we'll try to help.

My best to you.
