Hi all!!
Long time no talk... sorry... I have been trying to limit my screen time... I have been in Dallas a lot since August. I recently had a DTI MRI... this looks at the flow of fluid in and around the brain... has anyone else had one of these? My results showed that I had 20% flow decrease around my temple and eye areas on my right side. I am going today for a spinal tap to see if we can relive the pressure on those channels and see if we can increase flow... hopefully helping with the constant headache and dizziness... Hope everyone is doing well!!

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. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |
