Sometimes I can feel my heart beat in my throat...when this happens I'll start repeating the same word over and over to the beat of my heart. "Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep."....lol. It's annoying. I could get stuck looping for a day or two as well....songs, phrases, words...you name it. I've used music to deter my looping, but sometimes that backfires and I'll have the chorus or just one part of the song stuck in my head for hours/days. Do you ever suddenly go from being okay to having a completely altered, uncomfortable state of mind? I wish there was a better way to explain it...I'm pretty sure it isn't anxiety. I've had this weird feeling since breakfast. I've learned not to focus too much attention on my symptoms but it's hard when your entire state of mind has been altered. How about "delusional thoughts"? I guess that's what they could be called...my thinking gets distorted sometimes and I'll have weird thoughts. I haven't seen such a thing listed as a symptom of PCS. Maybe schizophrenia, psychosis or dementia...but not PCS. Haha, no offense taken. I've learned to not worry about the regular ol' symptoms, it's just hard to not worry when your having delusional thoughts that don't make sense. Makes me feel like I'm losing it.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |
