Mark,

You pretty much took the words right out of my lawyers mouth. I have no video evidence so it'll be next to impossible to prove. The only person who saw the whole ordeal was my one drunk friend and he was arrested with me so they know he was drunk. His testimony won't be worth anything.

I did not know there was different types of magnesium supplements. Are they easily identified? Is there an issue with the mag oxide?

Interested in learning more.

Mag oxide is not well absorbed. It does work well as a laxative, though. I take magnesium malate.

Plastic, The cops decision to take you to the hospital makes it sound like they were accepting of the trauma they put you through. What do the ER records say?

Mark in Idaho,

I have been looking for answers to my brain fog for years now... what an unbearable condition to suffer for all this time.

Mine, I have come to find out, is sleep related as well.

Since I don't have the mental capacity to read through your posts to find what I'm looking for (I've tried really hard, I'm sorry ) I was wondering if you found something that works for you to treat the fog?

I am always in a fog and always fatigued. Life is unbearable. I can't sleep at night, and I've had everything done from bloodwork/hormone levels to sleep studies. I can't figure out why I can't get a good night's sleep.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Just curious to see if anything actually cured the fog. My life is going to hell fast. 5 years is too long for this bull.

Mark In Idaho,

Did you ever find something to deal with the brain fog? I apologize for asking, however I have been trying so hard to search through your posts but my mind isn't allowing it

I can't sleep at all. My fog is related to sleep, I know that for a fact. I have been tested for sleep apnea, hormones, etc. and everything checks out. I don't get it...

I usually feel better with no fog when I drink myself to sleep. Go figure. Just wondering if you found anything that helped you clear the fog and move out of the hell that this fog creates.

fog boy,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. I can understand your struggle to read through these posts, especially if you can not get enough sleep.

I have done two take home sleep studies and both said I was fine but my wife has observed me stop breathing while I sleep. She counted 16 breathing stoppages in one hour. Sleep studies are not always accurate.

Other than drinking, what else have you done to try to get some sleep?

What is your diet like? Do you take any nutritional supplements?

Are you taking any meds or have you?

Do you have an established sleep hygiene?

Do you finally fall asleep out of total exhaustion?

I have lots of things I have done and do to get to sleep. Once I know more specifics, I can suggest what may help.

My best to you.

Very valid point! Maybe this can help you in your fight. It is awful you got treated that way; there has got to be something, some kind of loophole!

I am glad you were able to get relief from your headaches too. Keep us posted, and is there any way to reason with your dad about the manual labor? (I know how it is, probably not, though, but worth a try if you feel it is setting your recovery back?)

I'm working on it with my dad he completely believes theres nothing wrong with me. Yet each day I'm getting pushed further and further back into my symptoms. I don't want to do this at all, but, i am about to fake getting knocked out. My sister said she would call my dad saying i bumped my head and I'm not waking up. She realizes the severity of my concussion because i actually talk to her every day; unlike my dad who just curses me for complaining about my head.

Mark
Thats a great analyzation. I'm going to have to talk to my lawyer about it.
