I was speaking with someone on here the other day, and as a survivor of a brutal TBI 11 years ago, we kind of came to the conclusion that it’s a combination of that head injury and early alzheimers.

Of course, our conclusions mean nothing :)

But handling more than 1 or 2 mental tasks at once is MUCH harder for me now than it was before the injury.

Pupils dilate for no reason (just one) and eyes move sometimes (vertical nystagmus). forgetful a little more than before, every now and then you suddenly feel faint and if you lay down it goes away in 20 minutes or so.

My doctors have talked talked about deep brain stimulation. I dont know how frequently it is used in alzheimers yet.

I know it is used in TBI and seizure disorder.

I think that knock to the head affected her a lot more than most think

I’ve had a mild stroke that luckily only cost me some eyesight.

But for a year or so, numbers just didn’t make sense when I was figuring bids and billings.

More easily distracted nowadays.

Ok...what was I saying?
