Forgive if but I'm in a dither today. Major computer problem and I'm just starting up again on a new operating system and my mind is a bit disoriented but hopefully I can post something useful for now

I'm really sorry you've had such a downturn. Is this downturn only since you went to the ER and were given that drug last week or had you noticed it coming on before that crisis?

Expressive aphasia is associated with migraine just so you know. You were in the ER with migraine weren't you?

I used to know a little about speech and language disorders from when my son was little. He is on autism spectrum. That was a long time ago now though.

I would recommend looking at Speech and Language sites really. They would have information about aphasia. There are quite a number of different presentations of aphasia. Some are quite severe and some are not. It can vary depending on the area of the brain affected.

Anyway, I'll post a few things and hopefully others here from the forum can give you some suggestions about this as well. I'm sure you're not the only one to have some temporary aphasia after a head injury here.

The wiki page actually has a good overview of Aphasia with links to different types.

I found references for Goodglass and Kaplan (1983) The Assessment of Aphasia and Related Disorders. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger that suggests that people with Anomic Aphasia can have aphasia but have good writing skills. I'll try to find that old article as it apparently shows information about different areas of the brain that are involved. Edited to add: it's a book not an article.

What's happening with the foot reflex? Did your doctor say Babinski reflex/sign?
