Shame on our so called modern medical community who has been continuously being so ignorant and arguing towards poor concussed people telling them it's all in their minds and disrespecting us...No courtesy or empathise our pains..we are left alone to grieve cry and heal on our own..beg others to just believe us and understand..we don't expect any treatments just believe us..it's sad.
It's even more disappointing considering that concussion is the most common injury on this planet..why is this happening? Just because our injuries are invisible doesn't mean nothing had happened with us. We had a bloody head trauma. My neuro offended me by telling me that I should lose weight and nothing is wrong with me. Screw you doctors! We are better off without your help. You losers make us feel worse.

I JUST posted info on how 3 tesla machines are going to guide cognitive rehabilitation from brain injury and should be common within a few years,
There are also other interesting clinical trials going on especially with possibly 400000 soldiers having head injuries from the war, we are seeing more money put towards brain injury
We need to stay in contact with and push brain injury organizations on what is going on in cutting edge research. I talk semi regularly to a director at BIUSA and let him know the suffering we are going through and he says he will update me on any interesting advances or clinical trials.
We also need to call these agencies and make sure they're doing their jobs. This gentleman told me he gets thousands upon thousands of calls a year asking what is being done.
There are literally thousands of trials going on at universities and I follow as much as I can. We need to make healing tbi/abi/pcs a priority to those in charge.
