So today when I was getting my soft tissue massage (torture) the therapist said that my pupils were two different sizes... Anyone want to tell me why this is still happening 6 months out?

Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

I've been told that sometimes one pupil is different to the other, or that they get larger, usually when I'm having one of my "funny spells" though, confusion, disorientated etc...

This is called anisocoria. It can be harmless, or it can be a symptom of many different conditions, several, like subdural hemotoma, related to TBI.
Have you bumped your head, again, recently? |

Not hard I seem to have a bump on the top of my head (soft spot) not sure where it came from though... but we have figured out that I have vascular issues in my head and then there is that little bit of fluid...

how did they find out you have vascular issues? was there a certain test? I wish I could have taken a picture of my different sized pupils when it happened so I would have had proof lol
