Jeffmw,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. The symptoms you describe could be from a concussion. It would help if you would explain your symptoms a bit more. When do you experience them ? Have you been doing anything to help with recovery ?

A post with a simple list of your symptoms and any times when they get worse will help. Also, please explain your daily activity levels. What kind of work do you do ? What kind of a living situation ? You will be surprised at how much you daily environment can make your symptoms worse. Understanding this will allow us to give you ideas to lower the stress levels in your days.

Please, when you type your post, put a double paragraph space every 5 lines or so. Many of us struggle with visual processing issues that make it hard to read a long paragraph.

You ought to read the Vitamins...thread. It will help you provide your brain with good nourishment that can help with healing and stress tolerance.

I suggest you not worry about CTE at this time. Your muay thai training may be a problem if it includes contact with the head during sparring. The issue to consider is cumulative sub-concussive impacts. Over time, they can lead to CTE but for most, the CTE does not manifest until the 40's. Avoiding more head impacts will be the best way to lower your risk of CTE.

My best to you.
