Hi,
I'm going in for LENS treatment this month. One of my brain injury friends who has literally identical symptoms to me has reported that its greatly reduced her TBI/PCS symptoms. She has her life back now and claims to be 30% better than she was before starting the treatment. I've got everything to gain and nothing to lose, so, I'm going for it. After seeing dozens of doctors, taking every medicine under the sun, neuropsych tests, MRI, CT, EEG, etc. and being told my symptoms were psychological (bull @@@@)...I think I've finally found my answer. If not, at least I could say I've tried everything.
OP, are you anywhere near California? I've been referred to a research program in San Diego that is helping people with prolonged PCS symptoms. They are affiliated with someone who run a LENS machine and wants to help people by offering the treatment for $0.00 (free). I will gladly give you their contact information.
I can't guarantee it will make you feel any better. But if youre like me, desperate with nothing to lose, I think it's at least worth a try. Even if it costs you a trip to San Diego. I'm too young to live my life like this. And you know what, nobody deserves to be subjected to this type of torture.
Shoot me a PM if you want to talk in private.
Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
