Default It's good to be proactive

Welcome

As a TBI survivor, your symptoms are all too familiar to me. Unfortunately CTs and MRIs don’t do a great job of detecting many brain injuries. Diffusion tensor imaging, Quantitative Magnetic Resonance and Magnetization Transfer Ratio testing are more likely to provide useful information. Neuropsychological testing is also considered to be about 95% accurate. By the way, is this your first head injury?

On the positive side, you are only one month away from your injury. However, I don’t think I’d rest until I knew what caused the seizure. Have they put you on any anti-seizure meds?

Take Care,
Hockey
