Lindros is facing a lot more than just 'risks

Hold on a second, read this paragraph about a former NFL'er with post-concussion problems:

"Some days I have good days, other days I don't. I might have a headache all day long. I might have blurred vision. I might have involuntary muscle twitches in my leg or with my eyelid. Sometimes when I am trying to communicate, I have trouble with word retrieval. Other times, my speech slows."

Umm..

Sometimes I have blurred vision (not too bad though). I have involuntary muscle twitches in my leg, very infrequently, but very often with my eyelid. Lately (since I burned myself out in October working over 250 hours in less than 3 weeks) I've had trouble with word retrieval, and other times, my speech slows.

What the fuck? I knew things weren't quite normal but could I be suffering from something close to post-concussion syndrome as a result of my burnout?
