EsthersDoll,
Yeah, I'm supposed to be on vacation from NT. I just thought my experience with NUCCA was worth writing home about lol. There was some people on here that were considering it...and I figured I'd point out the possibility of making things worse.
Every injury is different, though, like you said.
I'm doing a little better now. Still messed up, but better...I just had an anger outburst that almost resulted in physical violence. I had to walk away...I don't normally have those kind of thoughts/feelings (of being violent). So, this is out of the norm for me.
I still feel violent now...crazy violent. Its actually scaring me.

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.
