Teeth Hit Food
 

Hi,

I accidentally smacked my teeth hard into a biscuit and kinda got jarred.

Been suffering from PCS for the last 2+ years, latest hit was 14 days ago.

Wondering how intimately teeth are connected to the brain/skull or anything or is this brain fog just my anxiety? Has anyone suffered a setback from smacking their teeth hard into something accidentally?

Thanks

No, you can't hurt your brain with a hard bite.

You did not have a hit 14 days ago. You suffered a startle with the related anxiety issues that causes for someone who has anxiety struggles.

This is more of the same.

14 days ago I smacked the hell out of my head into the roof of my car man.

But yeah i figured the bite is just anxiety

Yes, you explained that bump into the roof of your car. You were reaching in to the dash or some such. There is not enough mass and rigidity in a car roof to cause a concussion without high speed involved.

I think you're having a hard time picturing what occurred when I suffered that hit. But, that's in the past. I'm looking forward. One day at a time.

If you have general anxiety issues before your concussion, they can be magnified now.
You might look for information online or you tube videos that focus on anxiety calming.

I know this isn't your intention but this is making me angry. I don't have general anxiety issues.

Yes, I am anxious now not to re-hurt myself. Having spent the last 26 months healing.

And I wasn't talking about a bite. I hit the front of my teeth hard into something that kinda jarred me. I think there's a slow desensitizing period to different minor bumps and hits, almost like a PTSD response by the brain to calm down. It's going to take a little bit of time.

Silly me for thinking I could lean on support here to quell general anxiety when it bubbles up.

We have had quite a few members mention that they did have anxiety /OCD before any injury , and it became magnified, that why I mentioned it.
I'm only suggesting that if you look for ways to reduce any anxiety it might be helpful to you..as a coping skill to get beyond the worry stage..
We do have PTSD & Anxiety forums - there might be coping skills information on those - https://www.neurotalk.org/forum84/

Think of recovery as multi layered , the actual healing from the original injury, then finding coping skills that work for you for any residual problems..
Support is more than just reassuring you each time you have a bump.
It can be making suggestions of things to try to cope when things happen.

Hi hermanator90,

I first gotta say, you're not crazy. I myself have this brain sensitivity and I know others that do too.

It's getting better with time for me, but I'm doing things to improve the health of my brain—diet, high doses of omega 3s and other supplements, exercise, vision therapy, HBOT, syntonics, etc.

What are you doing to recover?

I know people that take extra omega-3s and curcumin to counter the bumps/jarring and that helps a lot. For some, high doses of omega-3s and other supplements are enough to get their brain function high again. That is something to consider.

Why do we get bad symptoms from little bumps? I suspect the brain becomes hypersensitive. And though the bumps/jarring aren't causing a concussive impact, they are triggering an inflammatory response, which according to my research can be worse than the primary damage of a concussion.

I don't want to worry you, but I think you need to be informed. Others on here (and doctors in general) are giving the best advice that they have, but it's frustrating when they sum it up to PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc.

Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll try my best to answer.

How much omega 3 supplements is a good amount per day
