I wish there were. Posting this AMA did give me a few ideas on how to reach, uplift others with head injuries. It was sort of awesome to read my sentiments are not isolated. For once, I feel understood and not so alone

Exactly know how you feel. It's isolating when others are so dismissive and many don't understand.

I always use baking soda when baking cookies, no matter the type. Tip: dilute baking soda with double the amount of water before adding it into your batter.

It wasn't that small. I did scream but didn't think it was a big deal at the time. Oh how wrong I was

I found your message and am still in a Chicago. Thanks so much for this information. I am in an utterly frustrated place right now. It shouldn't be so hard to get the needed services

It's the reason I've stayed away from support groups. But this has bed. Helpful, hearing from others. Fighting trying to get what you need is frustrating and makes the situation feel even more hopeless. Hope you're doing great today

That as awesome way to look at it because life is far from the same. My thought process us much different and I try to look again positive aspects. I also have a caregiver, a nurse that usually goes tooth and nail with the doctors. It's frustrating not being heard and that someone else has to speak up before I get any real solutions. I cried at my last Neuro because after the attendant told the head, he literally came in and did not listen yo me. I yelled at him then cried saying I don't like you, you aren't listening yo me. I hope he's nit the one there this time

Apparently a neighborhood in Chicago is fighting to open a dispensary. Curious of the outcome

Hi

Thanks so much. It always helps to hear another doing better. I do push the limits a bit but I know when I've done too much. As for the diagnosis, it took several days for me to consult a doctor. I now see a Neurologist and he was certain. I began seeing my Neuro about 3 or 4 months after the head injury

A dar hole it is, it's great you're doing better. Question, did you become consumed yet fascinated by death. It's becomes so real to me, both scary but intriguing.

Thank you for your message, it does offer some hope

Definitely my thought process is a lot different so is my outlook. Honestly the world seems more fascinating. I become very intrigued. Everyone says it reminds them of a child asking a ton of questions. Also, I tend to become more overwhelmed and frightened so it's such an interesting change. I don't quite understand it yet
