AustinK,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear you are struggling so. It sounds like you have damage that ended in some dead brain tissue. I doubt Cranial Sacral Therapy will do anything at all for you, except if you have any neck injuries that have gone without healing. Don't let the CST try to adjust your cranial plates. You have suffered a skull fracture and do not fit the profile for letting somebody try to move your skull plates.

If you have Crime Victim's Funds available, you may see if OHSU can do a fMRI of your taste and smell senses. You may also see if you can get a consult with Michael Freeman DC at OHSU. He is a research specialist and does not treat as far as I know but his research has made him very knowledgeable.

I have a friend who has had no smell for 15 years. His life still goes on in full. In fact, it helps with diapers with his new son born last fall. I have extra sensitive smell that causes me to be overwhelmed by simple perfumes so there are other aspects of sensory dysfunctions.

Do you have any other TBI symptoms we can help you understand ? I would expect that you have many symptoms in your daily struggles.

btw, Sometimes, it takes a while to get a response. This forum is not like text messages or twitter. I am usually monitoring for newbie posts but today was a bad day for me.

Please let us know how we can help you.

My best to you.
