- I'm curious about something regarding head pain. I've dealt with severe head pain since my injury. And I know MANY of you deal with this as well. What I'm curious about is this. I remember reading something on-line one time about how headaches...
- While I've had quite a bit of improvement in a number of areas since my TBI happened, I still have glitches with writing.My overall writing sounds fine - but I have what feels like a short circuit in my brain. I will think one thing, but I write...
- Recently, my brain had an improvement. And, since that happened, it's as if my brain is in high speed but the thoughts are crashing all over each other. I don't know if that makes any sense. Pre-TBI, my brain worked at high speed. Since the TBI,...
- I am trying to re-acclimate my ears to sound, so I've started to listen to music this week. I find that I will listen to the same song over & over again (thank you You-Tube - lol!). When I say over & over again, I mean literally all day. ...
- I'm just wondering if anyone else has both a TBI and PTSD or TBI and a lot of anger?This past week was filled with a lot of anger and depression for me. And, please, I'm looking for people who can empathize. If anyone wants to give me a lecture on...
- Hi,I'm wondering if others have also ended up with vitamin deficiencies and other issues after their brain injury?I now have a severe D deficiency, a minor B deficiency and some type of thyroid issue. The D deficiency I think actually was going on...
- I'm not sure how many people this applies to, because I don't know if most people are able to drive or not post-TBI/ABI.For quite awhile, I was not able to drive. Now, I can.I find that short distances, locally are no problem. But, when I drive on...
- There's something that I find really hard with my TBI. I am making progress - in fact, some might say tremendous progress. For example, I can now walk, whereas last year I couldn't walk without falling over. I can see words and numbers now and...
- Do you find that pain affects your mood? I had about a week and a half of really low pain and I was feeling great! I had finished the intensive part of my rehab, so that really helped reduce the pain. No more vision therapy! :) I know I perhaps...
- I was just in the grocery store and had picked up some peanut butter. I walked out to the main aisle and then stopped and looked around, confused. A person who worked there said, "Hi, can I help you find something?"I looked at her blankly and...
- Hi,I'm about to hit the 1 year mark soon. For those who have been through it, can you share any thoughts or advice? Anything that was helpful? Anything you would have done differently?I was thinking I would be ok with that 1-year marker. I know,...
- How have other people treated you since your injury? The good and the bad. My question is inspired by a comment made by songwriter on another thread.
- I've been doing better emotionally recently, but I still have these surges of anger. My anger is about the drunk driver that hit me. I feel like I'm moving forward - I'm hopeful about the new year - but then -wham- the anger comes out of the blue....
- Hi,Anyone else have difficulty switching tasks or topics? I seem to do pretty well if I'm just focused on 1 thing or 1 topic. But -dang it- having to switch to something else is incredibly difficult. I've always been able to easily bounce from...
- My chat function hasn't worked in close to a week. Is anyone else having this problem? I contacted help, so hopefully they will resolve it.It may have been something I did - every since my TBI I sometimes have problems with technology these days...
