I found this site by my usual bird walking from a topic in google. I am a woman over 60, and not yet retired, but I fell at work 7 months ago...I work in Special Ed at a school district, so I am covered partially by worker's comp. I have had MRIs, CTs and nothing found. But I have head aches, vertigo, ear pressure, "head buzzing". I have latent responses to stimuli, like loud noise so I wear earplugs when I go out. I sayed home for months which did little to help. I decided to try to go to movies...I cannot watch previews as they go too fast and cause an instant reaction. I go to plays and as long as I concentrate just on the dialogue I seem to be okay at least during the production. The PT suggested exercises and to play games on the computer to retrain my brain, but if I don't have an instant reaction I end up with one a few days later. Enough about me...I am trying to go to all the sites you suggest. So I thank you

Hi Judy and welcome. I'm not a doctor or heath care professional but your symptoms seem to be consistent with post-concussion syndrome. Check out the forum on TBI/PCS and best to you in your recovery.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
