Hello Mark -

Thanks so much for the reply. I will definitely take your advice to heart.

As for nutrition, yes, I've actually been on the ball with this one. Put him on a regiment of multivitamins and supplements about three months ago (the ones that include stuff like folate, b12, etc.), as well as magnesium, and omega 3 fish oil that is high in EPA & DHA with a 2:1 ratio. His memory actually has improved somewhat from it, but the executive function is the big problem still.

I will definitely look into the doctors that you mention below. My concern with a support group is that most of what I see are people dealing with the immediate after effects of TBI and are still in the acute stage, are still in rehab, etc. as opposed to our situation, which is many years after the fact.

If you are able to locate a wife (wives) in the forum who are dealing with similar situations, I would be most grateful!!

One of the difficult issues for me is to continue to remind myself that he has this impairment - because it is so easy for me to play into some of his behavior or get mad at him because he is no longer motivated to do anything remotely productive. But I am happy that he is finally out of his depression and able to enjoy his old hobbies again. Even that was gone for a while.

Thank you again and please keep me posted on anything you find that might help.
