MVTBI

I too am about 20 months out and have been wondering a lot of the same things you are thinking about. I experienced a lot of improvement since stopping work in February of this year, but recently it feels like improvement has slowed. I go back and forth between wanting to continue to look for different therapies that might help me, and just giving up and accepting that only time will tell whether or not I get better.

I cannot tell you if you or I will have permanent issues. But this is the way I have been thinking about it... Most days I feel about 80-85% of my pre-injury self. Which compared to how I was 1.5 years ago, feels amazing. So most days I am positive that there is an end to this and that some day I will get back to 95-99% of my old self again (I don't think we will ever be 100% the same). But I still do have bad days where it feels like this will never end. I have to tell myself that these bad days are temporary and that I will feel good again and just slog through them.

It is the good days that keep me going and keep giving me hope that a lot of this will not be permanent. I hope you can hold on to that as well. I understand that it is SO frustrating to deal with all the unknowns.
