The humming in your head is Perhaps Af rom of tinnitus caused by the Impact.your
The OFF nature behavior can be controlled its your Job to do that Somewhat purposefully.
Concussions are additive I would talk to your Doctor and perhaps Go to that Clinic! This is not a TIME LIMIT Controlled problem you respond to it now not when its too late.
Brain centered Pain is not treatable with ANalgesics Morphine and lesser drugs will simply drug you and not the pain. You need a Gabba-blocker medication such as Gabbapentin and that family of drugs . as this is now one of many injuries you may be onmedicatgion for life . Tinnitus of very severe levels can ve calmed by Gabapentin . So far its the only drug I know that can keep me out of the psych Ward .

I can function, but my husband has noticed (and so have I) that I have had slight personality changes along with the lack of concentration abilities, vision focusing slowness, "humming" in my head, which I call "the bees", and fatigue. I am a lot more blunt and have less tolerance and the "filter" that usually stops people from saying what they really think isn't quite there. When I get stressed or sometimes just because, the point of impact on the back of head (outside isn't sore) seems to constrict and is painful. The pain wraps around my head sort of in waves.
I had an MRI and it fine.
If there is not improvement or things get worse I will be going to a concussion clinic in the next few weeks.
I guess just talking about it will help me not feel so crazy. Anyway, thanks for listening.  |
