Hello and welcome to NT!

Firstly, thank you for looking out for your husband: we TBI folks can be very hard on our caregivers.

I was injured in an mva that sounds quite like your husband's. Has your husband's neck been examined as a possible contributor to his headaches? No doubt he suffered whiplash. Mine was so violent that it damaged my spine, creating instability. As a consequence, I really battle headache. While not possible in my case, the neck can often be stabilized with surgical, or other, interventions. Anyway, it's something that you might want to look into.

Speech, cognitive, drug and psychological therapies are available that might help with your husband's other symptoms. Sadly, he does not sound like the type who is likely to accept, readily, his TBI and make the necessary accommodations. In that case, I really suggest that you put a premium on caring for yourself and your children. You might want to consider joining a caregiver support group. www.biausa.org

My best to you.
