Ummm, I'm sort of freaking out. The past week or so, I've had this weird feeling in my temple...like something moving. It usually happens when I lay down or if I'm going for a walk. Well, right now it happened while I was laying in bed...and I put two fingers over it...and it felt like something was poking my fingers!!! There is something rolling or moving around in there...What the heck is that?
I thought it was the veins that run through my head by the temple...but I don't think that's what it is. It pressed on my fingers with quite some force. Enough to move them. ITS NOT A TOOMAAAAH! Or is it? I feel a panic attack coming on.

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. |
