Hey guys,

It's been too long since I checked in and read the threads. With baseball season now in full swing, I have found a new love of the game based on its level, even, slow and steady pace. So I have spent a lot more time watching baseball and a lot less reading about PCS.

So I am 6 months post-accident, 4 months post-diagnosis, and 3 months on disability leave. Medication has helped reduce the headaches significantly. We are still working with meds to deal with the anxiety and depression. The brain fog comes and goes, there are good days and there are bad.

Now for a couple months, maybe longer, I have been experiencing what I termed "brain blanks." I saw my psychiatrist today and she believes they are "disassociative episodes." Let me describe a couple examples and please tell me if anyone can relate and what you have heard about it:

Example 1: I am watching TV with my wife. In the middle of a show I grab the remote and just start fast forwarding w/out realizing what I am doing.

Example 2: I go through fast food drive thru and WANT to order, say, the #1 meal but order something entirely different. I get home and find I don't have what I wanted, my wife confirms is is what I ordered. I don't recall ordering it.

Example 3: I am on a ladder and start coming down. I suddenly think I am at the bottom when I am actually still 3ft above the ground and step off, landing and spraining my knee. (I know! No more ladders!!)

Each of these times happened when I was tired, typically at the end of a long "good day," i.e., one where Inhave had the energy to get out with the family, or go shopping, or work around the house.

Any ideas??? Thanks!!!
