carly214,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear about your husband's struggles. Thanks for reposting in paragraphs. Many of us struggle to follow from line to line when the paragraph is more than 5 lines or so. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to repost others posts with the paragraph spacing.

It sounds like your husband is experiencing Multiple Impact/Concussion Syndrome. It tends to become more evident as we reach about 40 years old.

Has he had any other traumas or illnesses in the past few years? A high fever can cause concussion symptoms. Getting badly drunk can also cause problems.

He likely needs to get started on a brain health nutrition regimen with a low stress lifestyle.

The basic regimen starts with B-12 (500 to 1000 mcgs per day) a B-50 complex, a high potency multi-vitamin like GNC Megamen, D3, Omega's, magnesium, calcium, all of the anti-oxidants and some others that I forget. My memory is stuck tonight. Someone will probably add to this list.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, MSG and artificial sweeteners. A single serving per day of caffeine and alcohol is considered OK by some.

There are lots of work-arounds and accommodations to help tolerate the symptoms. More about that later.

I am recovering from a week of visiting family in California so I know it will take me a few days to get my brain going again. I slept most of today after the long drive home yesterday. And, I didn't even drive. My wife has to do the driving.

Let us know the specific struggles he has. There are lots of good and experienced people here to help.

My best to you.
