		<description>I think you should try yoga--and no, I&#039;m not kidding. It forces you to take your time and concentrate, and incidentally centers you. With time it yields great results, physically and mentally. The very basis of yoga is to reach your inner peace and bring it out into your daily life. I had a friend years ago who used to be a complete scatterbrain until she started seriously getting into yoga. After a few months, she was much more organized, rarely forgot anything and almost invariably radiated peace. She didn&#039;t, however, work in a call center with d-bags and general dastardliness. Anyway, my point it, I expect yoga might have a similar smoothing effect on your temper. But that&#039;s just my opinion.</description>

		<description>I sympathize; especially as a frontal lobe PCS sufferer.  So many questions, and not only no answers, but the accompanying sense that no one gives a damn.  My doctor seems downright smug about it, and my psychologist says all I have is my injury and my response to it!  As if I COULD or SHOULD be responding more favorably than I already am?  It feels something like one would imagine drowning to feel.

Relaxation and focus seem to help.  Focus on relaxing, letting go.  Hold on to hope, and believe in yourself.  We are changed, dramatically.  But deep in the core, we are still our old, hardworking, highly motivated, bright selves.

I understand the wacky spells.  My hearing drives me nuts.  I have this frequent scraping kind of feeling...so annoying i don&#039;t even want to talk or think about it.  And, to do so only makes me sound goofy, yet the experience is so physical.  No one understands, except another sufferer.  We are the experts.  My doctor looked at me very puzzled when after eight months I said I still had pain at the site of the injury, and said, &quot;I don&#039;t know why that is.&quot;  NO KIDDING...HE WASN&#039;T HIT in the HEAD!  How could he know?  NO book or research can put into words the complexity of physical discomfort, especially if authored by someone who has never experienced the sensation.  And here I am babbling.  I USED to be so much clearer, more concise.  So frustrating.  At least we can still write.  You write so well.  Do that.  Doesn&#039;t that help some?   A bit of a meditation of sorts.  Godspeed.  Live your life in as much fullness as your heart allows.  I know you can&#039;t count on your head, if it is like mine; it just messes everything up now.  Let yourself rest as often as possible.  Peace awaits deep within.</description>
