Its so frustrating when these things happen and people dont quite understand. Maybe ask your mom if she would watch the TBI videos i posted a few days ago to see if it will help her to understand what you are going through and maybe be more sympathetic. The title of the thread is "you look great! A funny and information TBI video" or something to that effect.
Our injury is hard for others to see. We dont have a cast showing we are injured or stitches...so its hard for people to see a "well looking person" and know all the subtle differences in the way our brain is processing information or putting it out there. Nevermind the pain, dizziness, and fatigue that goes along with our PCS. Hopefully she will learn a little more about your condition and be more understanding.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability. Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again! I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients. |
