new ideas behind what is causing my symptoms.
She said waking up with body burning usually during pleasant or intense dreams is possibly a reroute of the brain's switch sending out pain for pleasure signals. ' She also said that early on in my injury, what happens when one neuron dies is that it sends out toxic material that damages the next one an so on for a while after initial injury. I couldn't grasp that part so well. the internal tremors she said sound like norepinephrine being overproduced and excreted at the wrong time when waking/ since both of these happen when I awaken, she said a problem could be thalamus and brain stem misfiring to each other.. As for treatment she didn't have a clue. But it was something. So Kevboy/sarasmile/hockey/sitke and a few other of you could come around one day and repair my thalamus and brain stem one day this week. I just bought a neat set of tools!!! |

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. 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 read some years ago that when a neuron dies, it send out tRNA (transmitting RNA) to the neighboring cells telling them to shut down to create a barrier or demarkation line so that no damaged cells try to function and disrupt the proper function of the healthy cells.
Obviously, this is not a prefect system as many are left with neurons that malfunction causing seizures and such.
