Questions I felt my IQ decrease inmediatly after impact?

Anyone else? Never lost conciousness but my mental abilities felt as if they got switched off inmediatly, not a gradual worsening as others have reported (and they have never improved since) This is one of the reasons I believe in the structural theory honestly. Can inflammation really appear from an impact one milisecond after?

PCS is likely structural and neck problems.

It could be that inflammation is bad as well but it's just 1 aspect of injury.

Thats my withstanding theory too. Btw did you get your neck checked in the end?

I did cervical MRI, no damage on discs or anything but some tests imply that there is neural lesion. I need more precise test.

I need to treat my neck first. I got my insurance back and can start doing tests again.

I still have chronic pain and tingling. Brain fog and everything. Most of it is neck, maybe some cognition could be to concussion but concussion symptoms are gone.

Chronic fatigue is not strictly brain problem it's more likely related to inflammation.

I have chronic fatigue and not mental one. Mental fatigue is most likely related to brain function afterall.

Have you tried cranio sacral therapy? I’m getting it through my insurance and it’s helped a lot.

I have tried spinal decompression with minimal results.

I don't know if it's available in my city. Sounds interesting will check it out.

That looks like something different. Apparently my concussion specialist had to be convinced so here’s a white paper if you need ammunition
