Is there anyone like myself, who in the Post Concussion stage is just repulsed my Mathematics?
It is so serious that I'll be sending the Dean of Statistics and Engineering a letter of exit from the subject and subsequently, from a degree. |

I don't understand what you mean by repulsed. I would understand if the question was, When you consider upper-level math, does the concept totally fluster you or look like a foreign language ?
For me, what used to be something I could methodically sort through became like I was trying to read Greek. I lost my ability to segment out the different functions in a formula/equation without it becoming very stressful. |

I do find it difficult to manage things requiring intense analytic thought, though I don't use high level math specifically in my daily life.
I even find verbally communicating anything instructional or logistical difficult at this point.

About me: Married 45yo mother of two girls. In July 2014, I hit my head on the side of the pool; since then I've had 3 lesser concussions, one of which was due to MVA. For the 5-10 years prior to that I’ve had what I now realize were possibly 20+ undiagnosed concussions or sub-concussions. Likely most of these result from Duane's Syndrome, for which I now have prism glasses. Have successfully done vestibular therapy and plan to start vision therapy. Current companions: Significant depression, anxiety, hyperacusis, difficulty with verbal expression (recall & word mixups), mild spacial/vestibular issues. Feelings of disconnect in relationships. |

I am also having difficulty with math. I am also considering dropping out of my program as it requires me to take classes like calculus and I have enough trouble counting money without mucking it up

Same here- very discouraging when no longer able to process simple calculations 'in my head'

Taking a step back would be a great idea. Higher level math is very visual..not only on paper but, also visualizing concepts in your head. If math is part of your program and a skill you had before part of the aversion might simply be that what was easy is now difficult. Is it a skill you can recover? Others here would have a better idea. I am new here and my husband is the one with the concussion. If it is, taking a step back until your brain has healed more might help you enjoy it again.
