Thank you,
Its just so irritating when that the only thing a doc can think is wrong with you. He honestly only cared about my 'headaches' (which aren't too bad) and whether I was depressed or not. Now yes since my injury things have been turned upside down. I had to quit the one thing I have loved doing my whole life and the rest of my life has been put on hold but that's life. Things happen and I get over them. Just now about 10 mons later have I started to feel down but not cuz I'm injured because my symptoms aren't going away and they are getting worse! He was so against any further testing (neuropsych, cognitive evals)! My mother (thank God) was with me and she works for the Neurological Unit at Kessler Rehab so she knows her stuff and backed me up. First she's my Mom and she Knows me and knws that my brain isn't working right Second she knows what she's talking about when it comes to brain and head stuff. He finally came to the aggreement that I would get testing done and if specialist thought my head/brain was ok then it was depression. Which is fine by me, do the testing don't just jump to conclusions!

I don't know of anyone who has had a tbi or any serious imparment or injury who wouldn't be upset by it. Docs need to think of what came first the so called depression or the injury? Then so what they have to, to find out if its from the injury or depression. That's all I ask for is for them NOT to jump to conclusions.
