Hi Tom. I don't really have any advice. I got my concussion just a little bit earlier than yours. But I 100% know how you feel when you talk about the intelligence factor. I went to school for 11 years and, FINALLY, got my doctorate of physical therapy and a medical license. Being educated and intelligent has been my whole adult life. Now I have difficulty holding long intelligent conversations and it drives me insane. I feel like I lost my smarts and that's what has defined me my whole life. After talking to some of my colleagues, they recommend playing brain games, suduko and other things like that. Maybe one a day and then gradually increase. I can't do them bc they either frustrate me or make me tired.

But I am here, kind of in a similar situation, if you need to vent.

Nikki
