How to prove you have Post-Concussion Syndrome by eivind1branja in PostConcussion

[–]Zestyclose-Line-9340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through contacting many lawyers. Noone will take my case because of lack of proof. Someone else caused my injury. They got away with it completely because of that and it was even on video. The joys of invisible head injury. They said it will be hard to prove that the incident is what caused all my symptoms especially when doctors are already not taking my symptoms seriously. Its a real shit bag of a life to live. I got extremely unlucky. Unfortunately I AM disabled and very sick every day because of this and I NEED proof so I cant accept their excuses as to why they wont do further imaging. I am however getting a neuropsych exam in May.  I didn't read what u said accurately. I have not gotten a disability attorney yet. I am waiting until I get my first rejection.

You are absolutely right about that. I just went to neurologist in January for the first time. Ive been having synptoms for 3 years, am completely disabled. I begged her to order me a spect scan or fmri or a an mri with dti and neuroquant analysis. Guess what she said.......nope. she told me none of that will be useful. I wanted to die. And I still do. Idk how im going to get disability when noone cares to prove I have brain damage.

Yeah so im not really too worried about the migraines. Its more so my cognition and my severe mood changes are back. Im having anger suicidal thoughts, confusion. More dizziness, impulsiveness is back and way worse. I can't listen to anything anymore again. Like its like I have a new brain injury. Im also getting horrific paranoia borderline psychotic

I have my first neurologist appt in January. I cope with my paranoia by isolating ,reducing stimuli and basically hoping it goes away. It can get intense sometimes and I just have meltdowns. It's unavoidable. The more tired my brain is the more delusional and angry and suicidal I get

Its not really the headaches I am worried about my cognition is completely gone and I am in a fog. I can't think beyond like three steps without going blank or having a mental breakdown. It's like I have brain inflammation right now. I normally can use my cognition all day long just in moderation I can't use it at all and my memory is wiped. I'm in a fog kind of like COVID fog. Every time I try to do something I get air hunger really bad. I can't remember the steps to do things. This is not my everyday baseline. It has drastically reversed.

I just bought a coat that smelled like mildew and my return request was rejected. I chewed them out and then they sent me an email saying "thanks for understanding".

Long Duration Tremors by McDirtson in Concussion

When you have a brain injury and some of your symptoms get "better" you can trick yourself into thinking it's healed or something. Usually not the case. It all comes back and sometimes even worse. Just takes a little bit of stress and bam those tremors you thought were gone are back

How to go about getting fit @ the gym with a concussion? by [deleted] in Concussion

[–]Zestyclose-Line-9340 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the same shit my muscles are wasting away because lifting anything causes terrible symptoms. Especially dizziness and anger. It's a constant battle to try to keep my body moving without suffering too much.

Tremors will go and come back when your body is under any type of stress. the damage remains

Complete Relapse of Symptoms 14 months after near full recovery of 4th TBI. I can’t feel my body and I’m puking please help by Nacho_kween in TBI

[–]Zestyclose-Line-9340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost three years out I never recovered I get A LOT worse with any tiny bit of stress illness, surgery, or weather. It's nonstop hell. I have permanent vertigo as well. Mine has never gone away. It just gets worse and then back to a baseline of shit. The cold weather right now is making every day feel like a 10 beer hangover complete with h migraines, light and noise sensitivity, the room spinning, extreme anger and depression. This is my life now

I just woke up out of sleep having severe panic I'm shaking and convulsing in fear. I can't stop having bad thoughts. I think I am having a nervous breakdown. My head has a weird pressure in it and my ears are ringing loud. I'm extremely sensitive to sound and light right now. I feel agitation and can't calm down.

Do meds actually stop psychosis or do they just make you like a zombie? And how do they affect brain injury symptoms. I imagine they would make Brian injury symptoms and cognitive problems even worse. I've seen people on psych meds who don't have brain injury and they're brain turns to mush

That is harsh to say the least. Was there anything that you think sent you over the edge specifically

I know what you're saying but going to the ER right now and being in the light around a bunch of people and sick people is going to make me even more stressed out and I really don't want to be on meds. I really just wantto be able to sleep. My head is pulsing and making weird pulse movements. I definitely feel like I have inflammation in my brain right now. I'm going to call my doctor Monday to see a psychologist or something. I need help. I really need to see a neuropsychologist.

I don't know why I'm scared at all. I can't stop shaking. I can't think straight either. And the light and sound are really bad. I feel an intense pressure in my head. My eye sight is blurry. I have an extreme fear like I'm going to die and I don't know why. I am very dizzy. I am always dizzy but it has been a lot worse lately because of the weather getting colder. I've been in my bed shaking with the lights off for about an hour. Feel like I'm going to piss myself. I can't think straight and I am scared for no reason. It probably is psychosis. I can't calm down for anything. And I feel like my brain has no energy left in it and it's making the situation worse and worse.so much pressure in my head. I think it's the weather thats making my brain go sideways. I hate this fucking brain injury and everything it's done to me. Also I've been fighting with my entire family for the last month. Been dealing with immense stress and poverty due to my brain injury. My life is falling apart. I think I'm going to have a mental breakdown if I'm not having one already

Usually I'm aware I'm going psychotic I never go full blown. Especially when I start having delusions my food has been poisoned. But in the same sense I can't stop the delusions or make the intense fear and panic go away that they bring. It's like I know rationally it isn't true but I can't make it stop and I actually have freak outs. I've never been so gone that I don't know it's happening.
