I found this link useful with current updates all around the world (many from U.S). The information is concise and current and they frequently update. You can read through it quickly.

Progesterone is very useful in brain injuries. I used to mention it years ago.

Too bad Donald Stein, PhD is trying to patent the use of progesterone in treating brain injuries. He has protected his research in an attempt to make money off the patent.

Default Record of impact to the head suggested.
One expert suggests all impacts to the head be recorded in the patients medical records so that later manifestation of symptoms can be considered as possible PCS. Without this possible concussion in the medical record, the later manifestation of a cluster of PCS symptoms can be confusing to the doctor and patient leading to errant diagnoses.

The following International Code of Diagnostics are recommended for the patients' medical record.

2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 850.9
Concussion, unspecified
A violent jar or shock, or the condition which results from such an injury.

2012 ICD-10-CM S06.0X0A Concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounter

Unhappy 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.
