As I read a few posts, I realize that many of you have lost more than I. I lost my mind and ten years of memory when crossing the road one night. Seven years and I have not regrown the now missing leg but I have recovered enough of my mind to function and to make people laugh with and not at my glitches.

As many of you might be doing, I am searching for anything of any sort to help me recover more of my mind's functions and I would prefer to hear from people who done it rather than those who went to school and read about it. While I have found a few normals who understand severe evolving to mild traumatic brain injury, most do NOT.

Sadly, when you have the least functional tool to find those who can help, you need it most. Puzzled and stubborn, I have worked out a way that works for me. I would be overjoyed to find others who have discover or developed NON perscription drug was back to an acceptable to them level of normal.

Oopps, I think my brain misfired on that last sentence which is why I have talked several total strangers into reading my diary about the past seven years, less the coma time and amnesia months.

As I tell me kids via email, BE WELL and smirk to drive strangers crazy.

I can't help you find the rest of your mind....have enough trouble with my own but I know a friendly face when I see one.

Hi, I'm Donna and I am in about hmmmm, month 10 of TBI. Or Post Concussion syndrome as the doctors here call it. I have figured out though its a combination of both.

I go to the forum area they have been nice enough to create for us, and its been a big help.

Hi Peglegom. It's nice to meet you and welcome to NeuroTalk. I hope you find the TBI forum here to be helpful for you.

I can only imagine recovering from Severe TBi and other losses you've experienced.
congratulations on your tenacity, perseverance & ability to recover so much!!

My life changed quickly but not as radically as yours, after I was hit by car 10+ yrs ago.
My TBi was considered "mild" but additional head injurys including another TBi 6 mths ago generated more issues and problems.

yes, the process of recovery can be, often is slow.

I too have been seeking --- info, " tools", better functioning, things that help; and like yourself value sharing from others who intimately know TBi

not yet the level or success I hope for but working toward and open to more & better...

hope to learn more about you and your process... I'm sure others who seek and Post at TBi/PCS forum would too....
