Question I Think I Figured it Out?
Thanks guy's I appreciate the kind words and Concussion I always appreciate your help

This whole protein deficiency is another BOOM surprise! I cannot handle negative surprises like most of us we get overwhelmed and stressed!

Protein deficiency just does not happen over a week or 2....it takes sometime and with that said since I have not been eating a lot of meats because my dislocated jaw.I had no direction/diagnosis that I had a TBI until after a year and half after accident. With that being said I was not thinking clear to think about how I would get protein, because I was so much in pain and fighting to get a diagnosis for that year and half. I cannot believe I was not smart enough to start Ensure a long time ago.I guess that is part of my brain impairments

Well obviously being on bed rest for a year and just walking was not using my muscles like last few months of light jogging/walking & physical therapy it made the muscles break down more that resulted in edema.

It all makes sense now because of protein deficiency
1.Hair falling out in winter 2012-2013
2.Always being cold last 9 months
3.Nails breaking past 3 months
4.Cuts/bruises not healing last 3 months
5.craving caffeine last 6 months
6.Craving sweets last 3 months
7.skin ulcers last month
8.sore/weak muscles last 2 weeks

This diagnosis of protein deficiency might of had something to do with my healing resulting in taking longer.I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IN DEC 2012 I GOT EVERYTHING TESTED AND LABS AND THIS DID NOT SHOW UP??????

So now I need to figure out how I am going to get back to where I was or better.ANY IDEAS?

~SO FAR~
1.I am drinking ensure 2times daily...eventually switch to home smoothies with fruits,hemp, and protein.
2.I am doing meats/beans 2times daily
3.I am eating 2 bananas 2times daily also all my other fruits
4.I am drinking a glass of vanilla almond milk before bed with a banana

I hope it does not take me months to bounce back to rehab.Anyone else have any input or suggestions to this
major set back I am experiencing???!!!Help is greatly appreciated

***I go see my OBGYN tomorrow that tested everything in Dec 2012 and everything can back good***And I see PCP on Wed if we cannot get this figured out than I will have to go back to neurologist
