Thank you Mark. This helps a lot. I just was so taken aback that I did not know how to respond. This way I can hopefully educate her a bit and not snap back with a rude response next time she says something like this.
On a semi related topic, does PCS qualify as a mTBI? It is probably a stupid question, but I have tried researching it online but its a bit confusing and I can't find a straight answer. My Dr diagnosed me with a concussion and then PCS, never said anything about a TBI. I just want to be clear. Thanks.

Then, the next time you get that kind of ignorant response, you can say, "Mom, You still don't understand. You haven't read the TBI Survival Guide or viewed the TBI videos, have you?"
We all go through this. Some of us even go through it with out even a clue that these symptoms and reactions are due to our previous concussions.
My best to you. |
