Default Glad to find this site

I am a 57yr old male, and was involved in a "minor" vehicle accident. The airbags deployed and the resulting impact gave me a concussion. Over my life, I have had several concussions(sports and lifestyle) and like any other male, took the advice of the Dr. and waited for my headaches to subside and brain to heal. That was 5yrs ago. Today, after severe bouts of depression, cognitive impairments and a complete change of personality, I have been diagnosed with TBI/PCS. I still struggle with cognitive problems, daily "out of sync" feelings and everything related to PCS. For those recent victims of PCS, please accept the assistance of the the people here. I am just new here, but have learned I am not alone on this journey. I will be coming here frequently to learn more and share some things I hope others can learn from. I made alot of mistakes over my 5 yrs, but am now getting the proper help. One thing which has helped me, other than meds, has been Cranial-sacral massage, given by an RMT specializing in TBI.
Thanks for being here and I will be back frequently now.

What is Cranial Sacral Massage? Cranial Sacral Therapy and Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy ( newer more specific for of CST) have been mentioned and discussed here many times.

Have you had your skull plates 'read' or diagnosed?

or was this a spine massage and manipulative treatment?

What is an RMT? Reiki Master Teacher? Registered Massage Therapist? Registered Medical Technologist?

No need to go to TO. If you need or want this, I can give you the name of my Therapist. *private message me* your phone ** and I will contact you after I talk with her.

Yes, I do believe it is good to be able to talk with those experiencing the same thing as you. Sharing common experiences gives new insites to what is occurring with yourself.
Thanks EsthersDoll
