Yankees fan,

It sounds like you have a good case of Multiple Impact Syndrome. This is the result of multiple concussions that use up the brain's reserve capacity to overcome injury.

I think your biggest problem is the high level of sensory stimulation from your job. All of your symptoms are common to concussion and aggravated by sensory overload. Getting better brain nutrition will help your brain tolerate the stress but not overcome it.

The first skill for you to learn is to "Stop to think." This means stopping all activity and maybe even close your eyes so you can focus mentally. Over time, you will do this almost subconsciously. This will greatly help when you get stuck trying to find a word or process a thought or calculation.

Multi-tasking is not an option. Even healthy brains are fatigued by multi-tasking. As you learn to switch between tasks rather than try to hold multiple tasks in process at the same time, you will find you can get just as much done. This might mean completing a task completely before moving on to the next task or making written notes of the next step of a task so you can let go of the need to maintain the task in memory.

The long held habits of depending on our memory and ability to multi-task are too stressful for the injured brain. At your age, you should think seriously about adapting your life to these new limitations. The brain starts to naturally deteriorate slowly in the mid 40's. The injured brain struggles even more. Planning a less intense and stressful life can greatly enhance your ability to avoid the roller coaster of symptoms.

There are more issues for you to consider but this is already a lot to process.

My best to you.
