My neurologist sucks.
I'm serious...Every neurologist I've seen so far has done nothing for me.
You know, I understand there is no magical brain injury pill...but let me tell you something. Not one of the 3 neurologists I've seen have given me any advice, they haven't told me to avoid stress, nothing about vitamins and nutrition and they don't seem to care or have any answers when I tell them I'm getting worse.
My appointments are like this...I walk in the room, the neurologist says hi, what's going on? I tell him my symptoms and he says "You have post-concussion syndrome, bye have a nice day". That's been the case with all 3 doctors I've seen.
If it wasn't for NeuroTalk, I wouldn't know anything about brain injury and how to maximize my recovery.
So, thank you NeuroTalk and everyone here that has ever given me advice and/or posted a useful link about brain injury. If it wasn't for you guys, I'd probably think I was losing my mind.

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.
