HELLO!I wanted to put this together toexplain why, without having to re-explain, and for the days I amunable to effectively articulatewhy I am unable to respondpromptly, and why my responsetimes may very DAILY.


Long story short, I have a brain injury.
My brain injury resulted in a somewhat uncommon condition, referred to as POST CONCUSSION SYNDROME. This happens in about 10%-30% of concussion cases and It's basically residual and long lasting symptoms of a brain injury/concussion. Below you can find a small list of some but not all of my symptoms, and the reason(s) I have not responded to you yet!
So please take all of this information into consideration and understand that I'm not intentionally ignoring you!I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS I AM COGNITIVELY ABLE TO DO SO!!



SOME OF THE THINGS I DEAL WITH THOUGHOUT THE DAY.
‣ MEMORY ISSUES
‣ ATTENTION SPAN AND FOCUS
‣ SCREEN, LIGHT, AND SOUND SENSITIVITIES
‣Sleeping issues, Hypersomnia/ Insomnia, (at times, I sleep for up to 16 - 18 hours a day, not including rest breaks or naps)
‣ Chronic Daily Fatigue
‣ Headaches/Migraines
‣ Pulsatile Tinnitus
‣ Brain fog
Brain fog is a unfortunately a big issue for me, as it's the reason I take multiple rest breaks a day. It further exasperates the above issues I mentioned, as well as others not mentioned.
THESE ARE JUST THE ONES I THINK ARE IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE NOT RESPONDED YET, I DO INTEND TO, WHEN I'M COGNITIVELY OKAY TO DO SO!I appreciate your understanding and patience. If it's been a long time since I've responded (after taking into consideration what I've said above) feel free to reach out again, as it's also possible I just missed the dm!
