Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie here and hoping I am in the right place. I will try and keep this short. I am a 54 year old female and when I was 17 I was in a severe car accident where I went thru the windshield on the front passenger seat. In the emergency room the ER docs (anesthesiologist, surgeon) let me lie there for over 6 hours because they thought I had no insurance. Anyways I did. So they went to work and I received over a 1000 stitches in my face. In 2001 I was in another car accident where I hit my head into the dashboard (passenger again) but I had on my seatbelt. I received 3 broken ribs, broken sternum, and minor injuries. Neither said I suffer brain injuries. Thou the first one I cannot lift my left forehead and have pain when I have a headache there. Ok to get to the point I am disabled now and just started college online. I have emphyesema, diabetic neuropathy in my legs, fibromlygia, osteoarthritis, 3 hernatiated discs in my back to name a few. I am on about 12 prescriptions. What I want to know is am I having trouble with comprehending and remembering reading the English course because of all this? Or is it the medicine or a combination. I was told I had no concussions. I love to read and always loved English. But I have never tried to do anything such as taking courses and really putting my mind to use. I am really scared. Or should I just relax and take easy. I am trying to look up my medications. Nuerontin, oxycontin, flexeril, norco, inhalers, oxygen to just name a few. I know they are strong medication and I do not abuse them. I have some left over every month and sometimes I don't have to call them in the next month. Well I meant to keep this short but it didn't work out this way. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
