I'm getting better. You will too!

I was seeing a speech therapist for months and one of the things she recommended for me to do so I could remember words better was to do crossword puzzles and I think it's helped tremendously. Just make sure if you do them, to not do them too much or you'll tucker yourself out and get worse. But do them when you feel like it.

That's what my Dr. told me again today - do what my body tells me to. (In reality I don't want to do what my body tells me to, I want it to do what my mind tells it to!

)

I like to do the word games online. If I play too long my body/mind tell me so.

If you wait for your body to tell you to stop, you likely have gone too long. You should stop at the first sign of needing to refocus on the screen or when you first start making careless errors/typos, etc. This is often long before you crash at the task.

Been there, done that, learned to not do it anymore.

Yeah, that's how I figure out I starting to get tired too. I guess it's not literally my body telling me - but it's the sign I look for. (If I literally waited for my body to tire in order to rest my brain I'd be a wreck all the time!)

Sorry for not being clearer about the signs tmq - as I said, I'm not as articulate as I once was...

It could be just me, lately my brain has a "mind" of its own:

Not sure if any of you have any MVC rdata on what speed of rear impact will cause a concussion?There's the NFL settlement now with players who were injured,highlighting concussion issue.

Yet,there's no data on impact speed causing NFL,or NHL concussions. Ask because I was in two accidents,first,it was at about 50-60km while at a dead stop,with ongoing hits due to an unconscious driver's foot still on the gas;two was a direct hit at 60km,or slightly more while at a dead stop again.

Second collision has left me with what has been diagnosed by an Ophthalmologist as a migraine since my vision's fine,yet I get blurred vision,with blaring headaches that include flashing lights,loss of balance, sensitivity to bright lights,constantly ringing ears,loss of focus on things that require it [eg.reading text,movies,television].

Saw one Neurologist who felt there were "no neuro."issues,haven't read a second report from another yet.Concerned I am damaged,and no one is treating the injury to minimize further degradation?

Nomad, I'm going to copy your message to a new thread of your own, this is an old 2012 thread.
