Thug,
I think you need to be seen by a neuro-psychiatrist. It sounds like you may be struggling with an anxiety disorder such as OCD. Playing football (soccer) is a risk, especially if you head the ball. Your referencing something on the MRI leaves me confused. What did the MRI report say? It sounds like you are trying to live a very busy life. This can be draining on your hormonal functions. Have you had a Testosterone test? You may have low T. I suggest you start my vitamin regimen. I just top posted it. Get your brain in good nutritional health so it can tolerate more stress. The B-12, B-50 complex, D3, and high potency multi-vitamin should be a minimum. Try to let go of the sexual issues. Get a stable brain health foundation over the next month or two then see how the sex drive works. There is more to life than being a sex machine. Some of us need specific drugs to function daily. These drugs can virtually eliminate sexual functions. We make do with these dysfunctions for the other benefits of the drug. (SSRI's) You may also just be going through a hormonal change where your T is slowing down. As we age, these hormone fluctuate. They say 18 is the peak for sexual drive. It statistically lasts until 25 years old then decreases over the years. |
The MRI showed nothing wrong with the brain I mean ( tumors or some benign or malign forms in the brain), but the doctor said there was a blood vessel that was pressing a nerve and this causes blood vessel-nerve conflict. As far as I understood his explanation, this was the case. The doctors who conducted the test asked me after the MRI if I have pain in the front of my face. I said that I do not feel pain but I forgot to mention them about the hit in the nose , because then me and my doctor thought it was a pituary gland problem.Because they were just people who conduct the MRI test, they told me that my neurologist will tell me what to do. But my neurologist said nothing... That's why I wonder what to do about this blood-vessel conflict.
I feel calm about this I just want to improve my health, so I don't think I have this disorder that you mentioned :) . I am not anxious or something about. I want to tell you everything that I feel in order to give me a useful advice, that's why I am talking about all those different stuff. So, as far as I understood I should take vitamins in order to improve my brain function. okey THanks for this advice. Don't get me wrong I don't want to be just a sex machine, I just illustrate how different I was before the trauma :) I appreciate the other important things in life. My testosterone level is normal, my hormones are in the norm. About the hit in the nose, what should I do. You said something about the sinus, what are the symptoms of it ? Are there complications with the vision, or something else ? If the pressure in the head is high, what can be done :? Thank you for your answers. |
If your health care system does not have a treatment for this blood vessel/nerve conflict, it sounds like you are just stuck with this condition.
A blood vessel will respond to high blood pressure so keeping your BP at safe levels is important. Have you taken your blood pressure? You should do it anytime your symptoms increase. Your vision problem should be treated. A Neuro-Ophthalmologist will be a good choice. There are also some vision therapies that may help. |
Mark is dead one with addressing your health issues regarding your brain. He is very informed and knowledgeable and I have found his advice valuable. It is common for a person suffering PCS to feel different. I told the therapists I was seeing that it was like this. I look in the mirror and the face is the same but deep down my intelligence, the person I was is different than the one I am now. I look the same but I feel totally different.
I know some of it is processing speed deficiency pre-injury I was very high average intelligence, post injury has three deficits that make learning VERY difficult and memory is now a big issue. I have real difficulty reconciling pre and post. I want to go back to the way I was but I am in recovery for 12 to 18 months. So all I can do now is cope. Like you my sexual relationship has changed but I think a lot of that is because I am frequently stressed out. The muscles that allow for an erection must relax to allow blood to enter the penis. If you can not relax, well you get the idea. I am much older so my time as a young man is long past. But if it helps I did not hit my sexual prime until I was 24. IMO you have plenty of time. Address your health issues and I think the rest will take care of itself.:) |
Thank you for the useful pieces of advice. Now i plan to see an opthamologist and a ear nose doctor in order to find out if there are any problems with my nose and eyes, or something that presses the brain. I will show them the MRI result and tell them what my symptoms are.. and destiny will show :) This is the last thing that I can do in order to find out if the situation in which I am can be overcome. So I should begin to take vitamins for the brain too. Is it possible to tell me exactly what is healthy to do. I will post again if there are any results from the doctors. And one last question- Can a doctor see through eyes if there is anything wrong with the brain for the vision problem particularly? Thank you for your useful pieces of advice. I hope you will get better too! Cause you know...got one life to live:)

When you see any Dr. make sure they explain in terms you can understand. It can be intimidating because of all the Dr speak, but you deserve to understand. I have learned a few things over the years which sound scary but really are not. I.E. I have a left branch bundle blockage on my heart. It is a nerve issue. It is genetic but does not effect me. I was born with one kidney. The nerves that leave my L-4 vertebrae are crossed. These are all defects of my body but do not cause me any health issues that I know of.
It may help if you write down what the Dr. tells you as memory is frequently affected by PCS. Multimodal learning is a strategy I am going to have to use to keep my memory deficit for causing issues with anxiety from forgetting. You may very well benefit from this same strategy. Knowing clearly can help reduce anxiety and help you feel like you have a better handle on things. Even if they are not quite the way we want them. |
Guys , can you tell me about the sinus, because Mark asked me in the beginning. Why you asked me if there is a sinus problem caused by the hit?
Because I think that this situation with the late black eyes( not on the first morning after the hit, but on the second)there is something wrong with it. Because black eyes is caused by blood under the skin, so my blood was stuck somewhere after the hit, and after 2 days makes its way under the eyes. And my last question is- what means if I see stars when I look at the sky(during the day when it is not dark, nor real stars :D) all the time. They look like very little spot lights which are moving in circles? I have this all the time and sometimes I even see it if I look in the room. If it is possible to answer all of my questions I would be thankful. |
I vaguely remember something about those raccoon eyes. It can indicate an issue with damage in the area of your sinuses. Hopefully someone will give you a more definitive answer. With regard to stars this is a common visual symptom be sure to late your doctor know and empasize it is something you would like to be addressed. It is frequently accompanied by other visual symptoms you may not be noticing. Convergence and tracking issues are common problems and can result in frequent, even daily headaches. A neuro-opthamologist can diagnose and treat those issues.
Headaches are one of the symptoms that often have a root cause and it is abhorrent when a Dr will not treat for them. Even with out a root cause there is often treatment to help relieve them. Icing the neck, over the counter meds, or prescription meds are available. Spine adjustments and other types of therapies often help. A decent doctor will identify areas to target and help get the relief you need. |
Raccoon eyes or bruising around both eyes is a classic indication of basilar skull fracture. This was posted by night nurse and is worth bringing up with your dr.

So it is possible, that this hit in the nose has made a fracture to the front of my face, and the two black eyes are indicators of it. Maybe after that there were complications with the sinus. And you mean that all these events may have caused my vision problems. Thank you very much for this useful information! Can you give me the source where it was written about those basilar skull fractures. Thank you one more time :) |
