Ok on Friday I had my 4th TBI, saw my doctor today and she referred me back to my neurologist. My question is regarding this: I had a specific period of time loss on Saturday. I tried to go into work (where I'm told I was "talking crazy") and at a certain point I found myself in the middle of a conversation with a customer. I couldn't begin to tell you how this started. I would guess I only lost a few seconds but I really don't know. When I told my doctor this today (I tried going to Urgent Care on Saturday but "they don't do head traumas" so I just waited til today) she said that if I'd have called in to the doctor on-call, which turned out to be her, she would have sent me in for a CT scan.
So for those of you with memory gaps and CT scans what has turned up? I had one done after my first TBI a year ago but it was clear. Obviously everyone is different but I'm wondering if there'ssome ccommonality. Thanks.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks. Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia. And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc. |
