Hi I found this site http://happy-neuron.com/

It has some free tests that stretch and analyse your mind. It has a one week free trial.

When I tried the memory tests I got 50% of what my wife got - not heard the end of it yet.

The one that really threw me was the test where you have to identify a series of pictures of hands - and whether it is a left or right had. There are no intense pictures or sounds just simple photographs of hands in different positions- sounds simple? I did the test once and it overloaded my brain so much it took me 5 hours to recover.

iLs ("Integrated Listening System") is an emerging treatment used by OTs for treating various disorders, such as autism. It can be used to treat audio and visual hypersensitivity, information processing, and (I think) vestibular problems as well.

Here is a brand-new case study in which iLs was used to successfully treat someone who has had mTBI for 11 years:

Good information about TBI and concussion.

A patient's perspective.
"Sixteen years ago doctors assured me that I would return to my old self in a matter of months. To date nearly 200 months have passed since that fateful day in 1982, and I have yet to be restored to my pre-injury splendor. At this point I am pretty much convinced that the effects of post concussion syndrome will plague me into my golden years."

So sad and lost
 
Thanks for the recommendations. I am really lost after 2 incidents of MTBI I feel like I am barely holding on. I feel very alone and sad. Can't find a neurologist to work with me because none of the want to deal with Motor Vehicle Accident victims. Each day is a bigger struggle. Just got on an antidepressant- hoping it will help.

I found two other books that I even thought were equally helpful information-wise:

Understanding Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) Edited by Mary Ann Keatley PhD, CCC and Laura L. Whittemore (A Brain Injury Hope Foundation Publication)

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: The Guidebook by Mary Lou Acimovic, M.A, CCC-Sp

They are well organized and formatted for people with issues like us. :winky:
