He hasn't been back to school as couldn't cope, he can't understand other peoples voices and gets frightened. He has constant headache although other symptoms are worse. He has had cat,mri and eeg scans which were all normal,waiting to see neurological team next week and referred to eye specialist as well. He is also under psychologist as finding everything very difficult to cope with as are all the family, it is a very difficult time as he cannot explain how he feels most of the time because he simply can't think! I know we have an uphill struggle ahead but would like to know if anyone out there has has similar symptoms and how did you cope?


Hi there.

Welcome!! I know you are very upset and I'm sending you a gentle hug.

I am giving you a link to our Traumatic Brain Injury forum. Please go and post your story. Also it might be helpful to indicate how old your son is. Someone will reply to your post.

I only wish the best for you.

Here is the link.
