Compared to the advances in cancer... we are so far behind in the study of the brain... but it is so very complex.. there has been a lot of research in the last 10 years... i am very hopeful that this would never happen to someone in this day and age...
My uncle is now cancer free... this is the second loved one diagnosed since my accident that is now cancer free...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture
Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath
