A brain injury occurs in the United States every 9 seconds. In this epidode of Brain Injury Insider, host Michael V. Kaplen discusses the long term consequences of concussions.
Thank you! I found you after trying to heal fibromyalgia and nervous system / Vegus system disorders. I had a whiplash & a concussion when thrown from a horse in my teens. Then I got fibro less than 10 years later after lifting a heavy bag.
33 years later it’s worse than ever. I have diabetes 2, and started meat diet yet I’m only healing a bit & slowly. And I had gone on a veggie low fat diet before & got much sicker. Prob too many sugars & oxalates.
So I’m going back to the start to figure out if I got something more indelible than an insulin resistance.
Thank you for posting this video. This is all what I'm experiencing!
My husband suffered a severe TBI his senior year of high school in 1998. He was punched in the head so hard his brain swelled, requiring surgery and all the bones on the left side of his face were crushed and required multiple screws to hold the bones together. He spent months in the hospital recovering and missed prom and graduation. It’s been 25 years ago but he still has some lasting effects. They seem to have gotten worse as he’s gotten older too. He lacks any kind of empathy for people and he’s very quick to judge. He struggles with feeling normal emotions, but he’s very quick to anger. He gets really severe migraines sometimes. He has severe mood swings and sometimes it’s like walking on eggshells to make sure I don’t do anything to trigger his anger. These symptoms have progressively gotten worse over the years.
Shelly you've described my own challenges accurately. I've scared my wife very badly way too many times
I can totally sympathise with you & your husband & hope he fully recovers. My situation is slightly different. In Feb 2021, after a heated argument with my brother i punched myself so hard that i ended up with Pcs but i believe it wouldnt have been so bad if i hadnt had a car crash 44 years ago, resulting in a brain tumour & life long epilepsy + 2 brain operations. I was fine up until the incident, as explained above but after pcs suffered brain fog & confusion for a long time, ( which has settled) however i now have ongoing tinnitus. The worst symptom is the waywards / lack of balance but has improved as time has gone by. I also suffer from visual difficulties, particularly when focusing between short to long distances. Tell your husband to get out & about - i.e go for walks in the park & perhaps take fish oil capsules which are good for the brain. What i also find helpful is gym training which increases blood circulation to the brain and helps with recovery, however i just keep it moderate like doing the cross trainer & using multi gym /resistant training machines where you can do gentle weights. I stay away from the free weights which can cause dizziness. If i can improve, im sure your husband can. Diet is also essential. I try to stick to vegetables, fruit & protein & avoid alcohol, including fizzy drinks. Wish you all the best
@JiveBunny997 thanks for your comment - I'm going to put these ideas into practise. Hope you keep getting better
Also to the original commentor, so sorry for your husband and hope he heals
Thank you Dr
Is there any correlation with concussions and ADHD?
They don't receive proper care unfortunately. It's just a bump on the head they say
"it's all in your head".. yeah that is where my brain is.
Thank you for this
