BARB GEORGE replied to Nick Smith's discussion What the hell is wrong with me?? Need help and advice!!!"Hey there,
Your doctors didn't tell you and can't answer you, because they too, don't really know. It hasn't been as long as it seems... I know. If they are trying anti-depressants off and on that…"

Queenie Alexander replied to Nick Smith's discussion What the hell is wrong with me?? Need help and advice!!!"Oh, silly me, I see that you said that you have had an MRI.

June 22nd of last year, I suffered a mTBI after a random assault. They hit me so hard that my brain bounced off my skull and left me with a contusion and hematoma on the left frontal lobe.

I kept repeating the same thing and asking stupid questions. After that day, I only suffered from mild headache, neck pain and a little dizziness. After a month of…See More

Polly Prisms replied to Nick Smith's discussion Is this as good as it gets?"It does get better! A lot better! Slowly. I'd like to add that, sometimes, where you live can affect how quickly your brain gets better.
