Hello, i'm a new member
Hi, I just joined this week. I've posted a bit and now i'll introduce myself. I live in Maryland and have two grown kids. On August 22 I hope to be finally divorced.
I have recently been diagnosed with a white matter lesion of my right parietal lobe. Not so bad f i n a l l y getting the diagnosis but what is bad is years of medical professionals saying: "It's all in your head" "If you just tried harder you wouldn't be so affected by any deficits nor difficulties" "Are you sure that you really have any problems at all" Yup, poster girl for a magazine article titled: I went to 17 doctors before I finally got a diagnosis.
In the list of forums, brain was not one of them. What I could use support in is for nontraumatic acquired brain injury. My lesion causes a roadblock of messages along a major information highway. Some stuff gets through just fine not a scratch. some stuff gets a little scrambled. And some stuff doesn't get through at all. Translated that means i have cognitive and psysical deficits.
Thanks for listening
Power to the perky people!
