3 months post accident
 

I am new to this site and not sure if I am posting in the right place. Well, I was in a bad MVA back in oct. I am having a lot of speech problems and having a lot of issues with memory. I also struggle to read. I was wandering if anyone has experience this and if they have fully recovered. I am seeing a neurologist and speech therapy. I am getting so frustrated with this. I feel like I am fighting an impossible battle!

Welcome to NeuroTalk, and yes you found the right place.

Sorry to hear of your struggles. You will find others here with similar experiences.

While frustrating, your symptoms are not uncommon for those with concussions or other types of TBI. While three months probably seems like a long time to you, as brain injuries go yours is relatively recent. Seeing a neurologist and speech therapist are the right steps. I was helped by seeing occupational and speech therapists both in hospital and as an outpatient. In addition I saw clinical neuropsychologists who helped design specific therapy treatments.

Similar to you, I did experience problems with memory and reading comprehension. With time and therapies these resolved and I was able to return to work six months after my accident.

The more information you can share with us the more we can assist by sharing our experiences, particularly what works for us and what doesn’t. For example, was this diagnosed as a concussion? Were you admitted to hospital, and if so what was your GCS? Lots of folks here with experience to share. Best to you on your recovery journey.

I Can Relate
 

I would suggest when you hit your 6month post accident to ask neurologist to do test....If they don't suggest it.
