Hello from Mark:

I am in my third year and three months of recovery from the 2001 catastrophic car crash that I lived through. I went from a mature 50 year old male to having the temper of a three year old, unable to remember what a person told me, with out the aid of a tape recorder and having extreme fatigue and headache pains that only repeated applications of ice pack to my head would stop.

I had a closed head injury and suffered only three minor cuts to my head and I then spent the next three years telling doctors I was not the person I use to be and being told that I suffered only from deep depression and to take medication and learn to live with the 24/7 headache pains.

In May of 2004 I went to the RIC in Chicago, IL and was informed after an hour and was informed after and hour and half exam that I had PCS AND MTBI. In August of 2004 I started EEG Bio Feed Back and EMDR therapy and have been on the road to recovery and feel much better and looking to get back to part time work in late 2008 and full time work by 2010.

I like to make aware to any person with PCS and MTBI that EEG Bio-Feed Back can offer help in retraining the brain and not to use medications that you may be on now.

If interested please check out the web page of Midwest Neurofitness, Champaign, IL and read what treatments that they have and you can contact Dr. Andy Hogan as to a clinic that may be close to you.

Now this helped me, but as all brain injuries are different you need to check to see if this therapy will help you.
