Post Concussion syndrome
I found that going to the Concussion Legacy foundation helped me a lot. There is a lot of information on Concussions that help you understand that you are not alone and has a lot of good advice and articles.
Well,……. they do want you to donate your brain to them, so that their research can continue, but you don’t have too. They ask, because the only way they can evaluate what really happened to you to understand it better and come up with better therapy’s or things to help, is to crack open your skull and look at it. Many people and a lot of them footballers have donated their brain and it is helpful in diagnosing and understand CTE as well as concussions and their impact to hopeful come up with more therapies.

Well I’ve had concussions from a car wreck that broke my nose and from an elbow to the temple on basketball that clocked me.
But I had not considered those on the context of my MCI - mostly because I have a 3 generations that we have documented of Alzheimer’s. Coming through my mothers maternal line where 80 % of 9 sinlings in my mothers family plus my grandmother and multiple of her siblings and her father and other ones we believe from that generation.
So in the case of ‘if you hear hooves think horses not zebras’ , in my family the horses carry Alzheimer’s - but surprisingly not early onset - tho I’m not completely convinced that’s true.
