Default PCS and the flu

Hey guys,

I'm 3 months post concussion and I caught a cold or flu recently and it's floored me. The flu symptoms aren't so bad, except that my brain has turned to goo since it began.

I'm so mentally... confused and disoriented? I'm sooooooo mentally toast. I wish I could explain myself clearly: I'm hardly aware of my surroundings and... hard to form sentences, etc. I can't hold a conversation or decide on anything.

Is it the flu that's aggravating it? It must be, right? I'm not this bad normally, I'm usually 10x better.

Is there anything special I can do to help myself through this? Or is it just hardcore rest with a blindfold for a few days??

When I felt my throat get sore I never imagined my thinking would get so awful. I'm a little impressed I was able to write this so clearly
