First, go very slow with the lawyer. Hopefully, he understands mTBI. If you can get him to read Gordon Johnson's web site, www.TBILaw.com, it will help you understand his skill and knowledge set. You may be in for a very long haul. It is way too soon to tel. Even when you feel 100%, you will not be even 75%.

Second, A DO may be able to help with skeletal and other physical issues. Don't let a DO get carried away with Cranial Sacral Therapy. It can put your legal claim in jeopardy.

A specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine is likely your best chance. Try to get some references to a P&RM doc who know concussions and mTBI.

Your Loss of Consciousness is of little meaning except to enhance your case to those who are not fully informed. It has little bearing on your long term prognosis.

A NeuroPsych Assessment will likely be a good reference point for going forward. Knowing what symptoms are organic and which are psychological or even bad behavioral choices can be a big help. If you explode, that is common for PCS. You need help understanding your explosion triggers. then, you need to learn how to avoid them or when you see/feel the pressure building, quickly leave the environment.

A personality change is not uncommon. Many of us lose most of our social contacts due to the personality changes. I was 10 and in 4th grade when all my friends abandoned me. To make matters worse, the bullies realized I was weakened and started bullying me. I went though lots of pairs of glasses. Can anyone say geek with the taped up glasses?
