Thanks. Head injury eight years ago set me back big time. gained the weight sitting home waiting to never recover lol.

mostly sensory symptoms left now. A lot of muscle and nerve pain. Thank God the headaches went away.

I need to make this the BEST body it can possibly be to compensate.

That sounds tough—but also like you’ve found the way to make the best of it.

You are so lucky. My cousin suffered a head injury last month in the prime of his life, I call it iatrogenic even though he was at home (on vacation). He was taking diuretics which made him get up at night to pee, and a new blood pressure medication that made him dizzy upon standing up, and he passed out in the night after standing up from bed, his wife head the thud, he fell straight backward and hit his head on the floor. The baby aspirin he took daily as a preventative wouldn’t allow his brain bleed to be stopped. For a few days we were all praying for what would be a loooong wait for partial recovery.... But he didn’t make it.

You’re lucky. I am so afraid of brain injury now. We worry too little about our noggins. Whatever people take baby aspirin for, do they have a greater chance of clotting into a stroke, or do they have a greater chance of a bang to the head, THAT WONT STOP BLEEDING? I wouldn’t take baby aspirin for anything.
