Hello all. I am a new member looking to see what other people have done to manage and assist with some of my symptoms as well as offer anyone advice on what I have done. A Little about my experience - 1/1/17 I hit my head and and was unconscious on my bedroom floor for a day or so and woke up in the hospital. I believe they drilled a hole in my head to relieve pressure. I was there for a month and got home 2/1/17. My only symptom in the hospital that I knew of was double vision. The month of Feb I could not walk w/o a walker and I had an odd vibration throughout my body. Gabapentin got rid of that and I began to walk the next day. My support system consists of my 3 dogs that have given me a reason to live. I still have double vision, unsteadiness and heaviness and tightness in my neck and right side. Doctors say I am doing very well, I beg to differ :wink:

Hi maestro89

Welcome to NeuroTalk :).

I am sorry to read about what you have experienced.

One of the most active NT forums is "Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome " (https://www.neurotalk.org/forum92/).

It might be an idea if you checked it out. It is completely fine for you to start your own thread there :). I am sure that other members will be able to offer you support and suggestions.

Thank you much

Hello maestro: Welcome to NeuroTalk! :welcome_sign: I trust you will find the time you spend here to be of benefit. :grouphug:

By the way, I also have something akin to an odd vibration throughout my body. It started out a few years ago as a sort-of restless leg syndrome. (I never sought treatment for it.) Over time it has spread throughout my body. It's not so significant that anyone else would notice. But I feel it 24 / 7. I have a psychiatrist I see periodically. (I'm not on any psych med's.) He offered to put me on Neurontin. However, so far, I've been able to manage without it. :)

Hi maestro,
Welcome to neurotalk! the double vision is coming from the back of your head in the optical lobe where a persons eyesight is. I've had 2 brain surgeries done and it took awhile to recover. My best advice to you is to see an Epileptologist which is a Dr that specializes in epilepsy but they know much more than a neurologist and how the brain works. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
