NJ Girl,
I am so sorry for what you have gone through. I wanted to recommend two books to you: Brainlash by Gail L. Denton, PhD., and Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury by Diane Roberts Stoler, EdD., and Barbara Albers Hill.

The two women who wrote the books suffered through MBTI and are helping others who are dealing with the many problems that come from it. I have turned to those books often in the ten months since my injury.

There are days that are so frustrating. But don't give up hope. One of the things that helped me with migraine headaches was cranial sacral therapy. I think that another member wrote about it today. You need to find someone who is good at it.

Also, something that I learned in a headache class that I took is to use an ice pack on the back of the head as soon as you feel a migraine coming on - or you can even use the ice pack preventatively.

In other words, you can use it every morning for 15 minutes and every evening for 15 minutes. There is something about the ice stopping the cycle of the pain. I don't really remember the exact explanation, but I know that whenever I am woken up in the middle of the night by an awful headache the first thing I reach for is my ice pack.

Also, a really good "ice pack" is a bag of frozen green peas put in a ziploc bag and wrapped in a thin towel.

There's lots more that I could write, but I am tired, and I need to stop.
I wish that you find the support that you need to keep on healing. This group has been like a godsend to me. Read through the posts. You will find lots of helpful information.

Take care of yourself.
