I swear I do not have any cognitive issues (if you see mistakes in typing --its because I type 100wpm being a past legal secretary) and I rarely check for typos when writing quick things.

I have no word finding issues, no speech problems, no memory problems, no real brain fog or concentration issues. I can read and completely understand everything etc., I can drive with no problems...just pain later.

I just get intense head pain...down my neck, at the temples, ears ring --sometimes very loudly (yes...tmj is being considered...wearing an orthotic) I get this after being around a few people for an hour (or even just one friend ...talking on phone or lunch etc). Sometimes I notice reading will make me feel the pain, but could it be head position? Head feels weird after watching too much tv too.

And god forbid I do too much in one day -- computer, drive the kids somewhere, forget going to the mall...then all the symptoms start! And...suffer the next day. If I go out to dinner ...bam..suffer the next day like I was beat up!

Today I feel like crap -- seriously pain from top of my head straight down to about my bra strap.

so..can this really be brain related if I have no real cognitive issues?....or should I put more emphasis on the neck/tmj issue (I am seeing a chiropractor).

thoughts???
