I suffered from multiple concussions throughout my early 20's and your story is exactly how my day-to-day life looks like. If it doesn't have a note, it doesn't really exist. It's nice of your university to accommodate the situation because when I told mine, they thought I made up a problem. Nobody in my family even understood the struggle to today. They think it's easy to forget things but it's not. I had multiple memory assessment throughout my entire teen to prior the accident and it was impeccable. So, at first seeing the decline made me angry and I went through denial phase as well. But now, I already make peace with it. I keep notes, reminders and tell myself it's OK to take time to learn anything at the speed and pace I am comfortable with.
You'll be fine, just make sure to stick the neurologist plans and really watch your diet. Since the accidents, I learned that I don't do well with carbs like Rice, so I am mostly on a carnivore / pescatarian diet.
It does my heart good to know you are coping so well with your memory challenges. I try to watch my diet becuase of blood sugar challenges as well. Yeah that rice will blow it.
rice is the enemy and it can cause severe brain fog. I'd also watch out for MSG intake as well. I hope you can finally finish the degree! It takes time but you can do it 😊
