Thanks so much for posting!!
DAY NURSE, lol...because she's working the day shift now...too funny.

One thing I haven't tried yet is getting a work-up done on my neck. When I was in the hospital, I had a neck brace on and my neck hurt really bad. So I know my neck was screwed up in some way, shape or form.

I had an appointment to get the work-up done awhile back. I ended up not going because that day was HORRIBLE, I didn't feel up to doing anything...and I never rescheduled.

If I ever get around to making that appointment and getting the work-up done, I'll be sure to post about it and let you know if anything improved.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
