About Me
I am a tbi survivor, 13 years post. I am the author of, "I'll Carry the Fork! Recovering a Life After Brain Injury." I was injured in an auto accident on 1/31/96. I was heading to work and a woman driving more than 50mph through a red light t-boned me on my driver's side door. The impact sent my brain hitting the right side of my skull. 13 Years later, and even with some residual effects, I consider myself successfully recovered. I will always have symptoms but I have reclaimed my life and rebuilt it better than before. :)

It could be rebound or intereaction. Who knows? If I take a large dose, I do get some releif. But the thing that is changing is the increase in pain in the right side of my head. The pain that is like cluster headaches. I am awake now because of the stabbing pains of that. It was about an 8 and now down to a 6 out of 10. It does get better. Only for short times and the weather has been rainy here. Very wet June. Even my dog is sick of it.
