Hi!

I just wanted everyone here to know that I've been using a program called lumosity online to help me recover from mTBI and PCS.

*edit*

It has courses that have been developed by neuroscientists. I think it's been helping me and I thought someone here might benefit from it as well. (Especially since many of us are not getting a lot of cognitive therapy from our HMO's.)

It costs money to subscribe, but you can find coupon codes online for a good discount. *edit*

Subscriptions to it are even given out to soldiers who are diagnosed with mTBI and PTSD from the VA, so someone who is an expert in this area thinks it can do some good.

I have had PTSD all my life due to trauma I experienced during my childhood and I've been diagnosed with ADHD as well which may have exacerbated the mTBI... I don't know and I've never really thought either diagnosis was a huge problem for me anyway - just something to consider.

Anyway, lumosity has programs designed for all of these neurological issues.

Much Luck!!




My long story short:
I have been recovering from a mtbi that I got in July '10 which became complicated by iicp (hydrocephalus) that was getting worse for six months before the doctors figured out what was wrong with me and they speculate may have caused additional brain damage. (I degraded to a point where I couldn't walk unassisted and was in severe pain for months.) I received a spinal tap in Jan to relive the pressure and I've been healing slowly ever since. At this point, I'm not well enough to drive or work yet, but hopeful that time will come.
