I have been reading the posts on this board for quite some time and the same theme seems to be coming across again - that people whom have had a major head injury seem to "recover" far quicker and in some cases better than those of us with a mild head injury.

I now this will be a generalisation but after a major head injury, victims are sedated for quite some time whilst any surgery or reconstructive work is undertaken. This is normally followed by planned rehab routine with supportive medication.

Those of us with a mild/moderate head injury normally struggle on for some time trying to live normally, then the battle for recognition by specialists before a treatment begins. From the posts on here and personal experience this can take between 6 and 12 months. So minor head injuries are long way getting off the mark.

There have been some truly amazing recovery and return to work times for people whom have suffered a major injury whilst a lot of us with lesser injuries seem to struggle a lot more.

I am obviously not saying you would be better off getting a major injury but could this be just a coincidence with the persons postings on here or could there more to do with the immediate post accident care?
