Hi and welcome to NT!

I'm sorry for your injury. Having read your list of symptoms, it appears that you're a full fledged member of our little brain boo boo club.

If you are in a position where you can rest, by all means do that. The more you rest, the better you'll recover.

Sadly, many doctors tend not to be that well-versed in brain injury. As a patient, the best thing you can do is educate yourself about TBI so you can be a strong advocate for treatment. Some excellent sources for further reading include: the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA)www.biausa.org; www.tbiguide.com and our own TBI forum here on NT http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum92.html If that's too much reading, there are a number of excellent Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) videos on You Tube. (Who knew it wasn’t just idiots surfing on cars?)

Cheers
