This is a great link from a British site all about TBI's and the research going on for it.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs. This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance. The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months. I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion. The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days. I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists. I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation. |

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.
