Thanks Bizi. Yeah I am also on the traumatic brain injury forum and I do get help from them but none of them on there right now are nearly as hurt as I am. Most of them have had like one concussion and are healing. I don't think any of them have had their total memory wiped. There are a few that have long term damage like me but they seem able to do so much more than me. Of course I am also healing from liver and kidney failure and have other health problems so I guess I gotta give myself a break.
The diet you suggested is helpful to me. I am really careful about what I eat. Now that my liver is healed I can eat meat again. That was a problem with the hypoglycemia. I can usually keep it under control with diet. But it still has left mental trauma from the passing out in public.
I am hopeful about my appointment with the Neuropsychologist. I think I am at least getting to the right kind of doctors for help now.
