Ok, I checked those links and I really don't know what to do with that information. I have tried to find "support" for a long time and have had absolutely no success. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that I will someday get better, but everything that I read about mTBI steals that hope from me.

My symptoms are really more of an overall altered state of existence rather than a collection of ailments, but generally speaking I suffer from terrible fatigue, weakness, disorientation, cognitive deficiencies, etc. I can't eat 95% of foods. I also have developed a hyper sensitivity to light and sound. I have pain in my head, neck and jaw. The severity level of the symptoms is nothing short of debilitating.

It took me 6 years just to get a diagnosis. I tried neurofeedback for a considerable amount of time (approx. 6 months) and only experienced an exacerbation of symptoms. I saw a pcs/head trauma specialist who told me that my right parietal lobe had severely impaired function and that my brain did not know where my body was in space. I am currently doing vestibular exercises that are supposed to help but so far I have experience nothing good. I have also tried acupuncture, dietary changes, exercise, herbal supplements, etc. It has been 8 years nearly to the day since my accident.

Prior to my injury I was a very healthy and happy young man. Then at age twenty I slammed my head and SEVERELY twisted my neck in a freak accident. I got up and walked away thinking that everything was fine. Then my life began to deteriorate into an unbelievable nightmare. I could never have even conceived that life could be this bad. I have tried to be optimistic and NOT to succumb to anger and frustration but after 8 years of this hell with NO improvement I just can't take it anymore. I am not superman.
