As my neuro has told me several times over the last 9 months; "if you've seen one brain trauma, you've seen one brain trauma". He has been very honest with me, telling me that they can only treat symptoms, not cure the causes and that the cure is generally the time that it takes the brain to heal. He has also advised me to explore "alternative treatments" and I'm currently undergoing acupuncture with some sucess. My neuro now wants me to try Botox injections, a fairly new treatment for tbi that has had some sucess in treating migraines. He also told me that I would only be his second patient to be treated w/ Botox. Makes me feel like a guinea pig as well. I'm on hold with that until I figure out if the Acupuntucture is beneficial. Hang in there, time has been the biggest impact on my healing. Good Luck to you.
