[QUOTE=poetrymom;986044]I am feeling better and better, but I find I have to be really mindful of just trying to do ONE thing at a time. It's so tricky because I find it's so easy to FORGET that I need to be careful. I know I need to be careful, but I forget -- if that makes sense. I am not out of the woods, and may never be fully.

Does anyone else find they stumble more with PCS? Or spill food and drink on themselves more now with PCS? I know I do.

I am making myself sit now. I just kind of fell onto the couch, but I didn't hurt myself.

Does restorative Yoga (gentle yoga) help with this? No headstands or fast head movements for me.

I have some meditation I am doing now too and that's a piece of all right. I really like it.


I got a concussion just by falling and hitting my head on a coffee table. The top was a 1/2 inch thick piece of glass. I barely remember falling. If I blacked out, I don't know for how long. Since then the headaches have been horrible, top that with the migraines I was already getting. My inability to remember things makes it hard to go for my bachelor's degree in sociology. The stittering doesn't help much either. Sometimes when I have to get up in front of a group of people and speak I get afraid, afraid that I can't read what's on the paper. There have been times when I have had to ask what a word was(i.e. like moon), very frustrating.
I find myself being very clumsy at times. When I get stressed out, my left hand starts to shake. That's bad, I'm left handed, can't do my school work.
Just try to smile until you can find the help you need. I wish I had better advice for you.
