TBI/PTSD

You need to trust your doctor. It sounds like he has an understanding of your condition. Military docs have a lot of real understanding of the long term effects of TBI. You are fortunate because private sector docs tend to discount concussion and mTBI injuries because they do not understand the long term consequences.

Be sure that they list your struggles with claustrophobia and the over-stimulation of noisy crowds and echoes, etc limit your ability to work in many situations. I have the same struggles. I am on full disability.

How are your memory functions? have you had a full NeuroPsych Assessment? The VA has done extensive research at using qEEG to diagnose residual brain injury. The work was done by Robert Thatcher Ph.D and Bay Pines VA Medical Center in Florida. Your TBI doc may benefit from checking out his work. A qEEG is a simple test and the reliability of the Thatcher discriminate analysis database is well known.

If you will list all of your struggles, I can interpret them into a more medically understood terminology. It can help the doctor present your case.

My best to you.
