The only real tingling I have is in my right ear. It is periodic throughout the day, whenever I conciously pay attention to it, or focus very intensely.

I think it's good advice to have your neck examined THOROUGHLY.

A punch can snap the head back sufficiently to cause whiplash.

not sure if this is legitimate or not, but I have a feeling that a lot of my head issues/constant headaches & fatigue are really just anxiety. I was always extremely anxious, but since my concussion, I am even moreso. All day I think about negative events or things about myself. This cannot be good.

What did the neuropsychologist say about your anxiety?

The summary of the report was that, for the most part, I was generally pretty average cognitively. He referenced that anxiety and depression may be a cause for a whole wack of symptoms.

I get excessive brain fog after working from about 8am - 100pm. I am trying to discern whether this is a normal feeling or my brain just easily gets overworked. It is so frustrating because I have had these symptoms for more than a year and it never really gets better. Does anyone have any input?

Did you mean to say you are working 14 hour days ? That can easily cause brain fog/fatigue.

I took a neuropsych assessment and wanted to share my results with you all. I was hoping for some feedback and some strategies I can use to improve. To give a little backround, I was brutally assaulted a year and 2 months ago. I've struggled mainly with memory (short + long term) retention, memory loss, struggling with finding words, and dizziness and noise sensitivity. I had pre existing anxiety problems and slight depression.

high average - better than 75% of ppl in same background
average - middle of 50% of the population
low average - better than 10-25% of individuals
mildly impaired - 3-10% of individuals
moderately impaired - 1-3% of individuals
severely impaired - worse than 99% of individuals

My results:
-low average semantic fluency
-average reading speed
-average ability to copy a complex design
-average auditory selective attention
-high average divided attention
-low average simply visual scanning speed
-average complex scanning speed
-average psychomotor processing speed
-moderately impaired oralmotor processing speed
-average auditory learning and memory
-average to low average recall after delays
-average recognition memory
-modrately impaired recall of a complex design
-severely impaired recognition for the component of th elements of the design (poor recall of specific details)
-mildly impaired verbal initiation
-average executive skils
-challenges with apahthy and difficulty maintaining focus
-moderately impaired coordination with his dominant right hand
-mildly impaired coordination for his left hand
-high degree of depression and helplesness

...let me know your thoughts. Thanks & god bless
... I got a neuropsych assessment and I got none of those tests. I'm confused now.

I talked for 1 hour, then filled in a questionaire for 1.5 hours.
