I had a head injury about 9 years ago where there was a brief loss of consciousness with a seizure at the time. Was told that I had a concussion. For several weeks afterwards I had trouble with memory, which included recalling information that I knew before the concussion, such as phone numbers, as well as some trouble with short term memory issues. Also had headaches and nausea and vomiting for a couple of weeks. Today I have chronic insomnia from that concussion as well as what can be fairly significant trouble with attention and focus. I've been through neuropsych testing that showed that I had significant difficulty with focus and attention, as well as processing speed, although it I hide this fairly well. I'm typically somebody who you would describe as above average intelligence and I actually really like learning and critical thinking. The difficulty comes with school as it becomes an issue with testing. For example, last week, I had a quiz which was a fairly easy quiz. Know the material very well and have no trouble with it. Read the question wrong and ended up working out the problem the way I read it, only to discover at the end that I had done this and at that point didn't have enough time to do it over again. I am taking higher level college science classes and it's not generally the understanding the material that's the issue, but it really comes down to focus and attention. I do have accommodations for testing that include extra time and a reduced distraction setting which does help, but there's still difficulty. I'm also on low dose Adderall which seems to help a little sometimes, but definitely hasn't fixed the issue. I've asked the neuropsychologist for advice on how to deal with this issue on the non pharmaceutical end of it and have received no help or advice on things I could do. I was wondering if anybody else had this problem and how they dealt with it. Current things I do include ear plugs for testing, taking in a pen of a different color for test to underline key points in a question, extra time and reduced distractions for testing.
