Hi there. I've been reading all these older post for some time now. Finally joined today. My story isn't MS, PD, Alzheimer's or any of the typical PBA nuedexta treatments, but is brain injury none the less. My son has it and this DM stuff is fasinating to say the least. Started with a post on another site about PBA and when I read it was helping with swallowing and talking in ALS patients I was on the hunt for info. Well we finally tried DM OTC for 6 days. Just a childs dose once a day(he`s 31 years old). Then he looked peaked like any new drug does so I stopped. Nice thing is I`ve seen some weird recovery happening that after 6 years is just awesome and seen it from day 1. Haveing a hard time finding info on brain injury let alone anoxic brain injury so I`ve put out a request on several sites for helpful info. 2 brain injury sites and an alzheimers site so far. One other caregiver is trying it right now that I chat with everyday with some good reports so far. We happened to go to his physiatrist a couple weeks after stopping it and I was telling her what I was seeing and I think she new I was. My thought was that new drugs happen to lower his BP so she did write a script for a med to help him ease into taking it again. I told her I was not going to just yet. I`m still in awe at what he has gained. Just still looking for more info I guess before we get started again now as its been over a month and still he is better. But how much better could he get? Hard to get hopes up you know. Thanks for all the good reads so far and I`m gonna check out this site further. Have a great day everyone and I`ll be hanging around searching for more info. Ruth
