I am sorry you are going through this, it really dose depend on the severity of the injury when dose PCS become a TBI it also depends on what sort of job you have and the kind of employer mine turned out to be a right #### if they think its gona cost em, now your guy was assaulted, like me apart from the TBI there are issues there with anger, it is a real shame he hasn't signed up to this board , are there any head injury support groups, in your area I am in the uk and have hook up with headway ,I was talking to one of ladies there and we touched on the issue of man pride ?? try not to poke it , us guys feel bad enough, and for some work is possible and for others it is not it really depends on the part of the brain thats effected, I think you need to see the right doctors topamax lowers CSF production and I cant see that as helping things I am a bit of an expert on CSF as I have a leak, finding out all you can helps (its keeping me sane ??)

hope things improve for you both

kind regards Vini
