My brain is starting to malfunction again....AHHHH!!!
 

The return of disassociation, weird/strange/eerie feelings (especially when I first wake up), disappearing thoughts, chronic fatigue, worsening of cognitive symptoms and communication....AHHHHH....I thought I was starting to get better.

This brain injury stuff is confusing.

I'm gonna take a few stabs in the dark here....

I've been taking more Hydrocodone than prescribed, due to the pain of another infected tooth that needs to be pulled out by an oral surgeon.

I'm malnourished since my income is barely enough to cover rent and bills. I'm no longer with my son's mother, who was receiving 600+ food stamps per month. Which means I'm coming out of pocket for groceries now.

I've been working hard on this new business venture. I'm helping with presentations in front of a group of complete strangers, I'm spending countless hours promoting on the computer and talking to random people about the service.

I'm trying to ease my way back into normal life. Now that I've improved somewhat, I'm testing the waters to see what I could handle.

My Thanksgiving was spent at a busy restaurant, which happened to be inside of a casino. Lots and lots of people and noise.

Any thoughts, comments, concerns,etc. are greatly appreciated.

Nick,

Sounds like you know you have been over-doing it. The pain meds don't help nor the infected tooth. Maybe you need to re-evaluate your daily activities. You sound like you are putting a lot of your limited eggs in your MLM/pyramid business basket.

Can you apply for food stamps personally?

Hi Nick!
I am new to this site, as of like 5 min ago haha, but happened to come across your thread as I was browsing around. I think we have gone through a lot of the same stuff and we are about the same age. I know it's not the same for each person, but I was awful on hydrocodone! When I tried it, I felt like it heightened my symptoms and I also felt like I was in a super brain fog for about a few days. I know that I am more sensitive to medications post brain injury, so maybe you are too? And I also agree that you are over-working yourself, so I hope you can find some peace through the craziness =)
