Important that this is finally being acknowledged within the veteran community. Countless soldiers who were doing their jobs suffered greatly because the injuries weren't recognized or addressed. Hopefully they'll soon be able to access the proper healthcare needed to treat those service connected injuries.

He states the new eye tech determines metabolic disorders and he refers out of its mold, Lyme etc BUT a concussion is in and of itself a metabolic disorder

Does anyone feel nauseous at times? Hard to swallow as well?

Thank you for sharing this Important conversation. 👏👏👏 Awareness Eventually begets action and response. All Too Slow... for the 22 Veterans that took their Lives, EACH Day... before Their help Ever came... 🇺🇸🙏 May GOD be with America!

I have had two major brain injuries within months of each other. I have had so many issues that you describe. 😢 it is the worst experience ever. 2:00

Thanks for your dialogue. My messy had been a burden beyond understanding until recently being diagnosed with TBI from MVA....it took 3 years before any Dr would say concussion! I've been getting great help in Tucson, AZ from SPARCC and Arizona Vision Therapy Center. Dr Amy Thomas is guiding me through my journey. She and her team have been wonderful. Syntonic lense therapy has shifted things in my brain. Structural Energetic therapist has adjusted my C1...a most intimate process. Great relief and comfort in my neck and head. Still emotionally out of balance but working on coping techniques. It's probably too late to salvage the friendships and relationships I've shattered with my irritability and outbursts of rage, but now I know why I was "that way"....A part of my messy. Less lonely is still lonely. J

I was discharged from the Army in 2007 and for the past 17 I've just thought I was a terrible person who could never do anything right. It started out small; just little things. But then it seemed like things got harder and harder, and I got crazier and crazier. My inability to control my emotions and behaviors ruined my marriage and almost all my friendships. I developed unbelievably unmanageable addictions. All of my bills piled up and collection agencies began coming after me. Not because I had no money, but because I just couldn't keep track of anything executive. I'm basically unemployable. I found myself alone, disillusioned, and hopeless. I became suicidal. It was just this last Monday that I was admitted to the VA psychiatric hospital. It was there that I learned about TBI and how my head injury, which was basically ignored by the Army (ibuprofen and a week in sick bay), could be the root cause of all of this. I can't believe it took me this long to make that connection. I feel like I've lost an entire life. I don't even know what to think right now. They start my cognitive and neurological testing next week. Omg I hope that things get better.

It helps to know that others went through a similar journey post TBI. Great video, thank you. I hope everything is going well with you

I live in England the care here is terrible I was unconscious completely for 2 days fell on my head after falling out the loft. My friend was with me when it happened. It took 6 hrs for the Ambulance to come. I spent 48 hrs in A and E then they kicked me out the hospital. They said they had no beds . My friend took me home I was unconscious for 3 weeks. My neighbours looked after me I had no care from anyone from doctors or hospital. Deborah

I had my brain injury on the 1st June 2024 Deborah

So what is he’s recommendation if it’s microscopic in brain and neck?

Dizziness woozy heavy heads anxiety atf since jabs

Such an incredible young woman. God speed!

This is an eye opener. This girl ive been dating has had brain surgery, and does most of what you describe. I normally get a little upset with her, but now i know to give her patience and grace. Still annoying though lol

I’m glad you said that, I don’t want to upset people I want to be on my own but everyone keeps coming round. I feel like screaming at them. I don’t want to up set everyone. It’s only been 4 months since my fall . I get burnt out really fast and don’t like listening to small talk it’s so unimportant.

Wish I didn’t have to deal with this shit but here we are 6 years later

I asked this Q on many platforms... 15 years After brain injury, does anyone have extreme headache (brain pressure) but ONLY before weather change, change in atmospheric pressure?! And how did it resolve it? Without pain killers and without brain surgery.... PLEASE answer me, or ask anyone... Did testosterone or any other hormone therapy helped anyone that had EXTREME migranes but only when is weather change.... Of course a lot of others serious TBI symptoms are present, but surviving this "migranes" without pain killers is suicidal.... Help me please, any info is appreciate

I was in denial for 45 years after being run over and killed by a car at 4 years old. It wasn't until this year in April that I could even except that there was anything wrong with my brain. I was raised to believe that I was as smart and able as anyone else.

I think I need to talk to her

I sent a message to my mother after this with a link. So thank you

I didn't survive.. just co exit no One cares about you well majority of us are homeless and alone and more abused in every way.. didn't survive nothing

Thank you for this, these are so useful I am going through a lot of the videos from a while ago all at once.. one at a time 👍🏻

PLEASE READ. I am asking this question to see if anyone can relate to this feeling Hello if anyone who has/had Post concussion syndrome headaches constantly like your brain just feels off, like a throbbing pressure pounding in your head I really really want to believe it will resolve itself especially now that I have just started trying to go on walks and treatment for my neck but I’m very afraid this torture feeling will continue forever. Has anyone had these headaches before because they aren’t like ‘normal’ headaches.. no one would understand what it feels like unless you’ve experienced it Thanks for reading please comment if I’m not the only one, I just want to know I can heal this

I've had double vision for 45 years

My daughter got a concussion at rehearsal for her high school play. She fell backwards off the stage. The next day, she stage managed opening night.

Who treated your Dysautonomia?

I had my concussion March 2021. Was told same thing go home and rest! By er doctor. After that workman’s comp told be I could back to work! I couldn’t get out of bed without passing out. Worked for a hospital. They “couldn’t” hold my job by July. Lost job insurance pay. I still to this day haven’t gotten much help since that July. I always said it’s my eye and neck. So I just suffer . I wouldn’t wish this on anyone!💔

Thank you for creating and sharing this video, as Brain Injury can happen to Anyone, at Any time. Our Medical Professionals, Emergency Rooms, and GP's, must update their Awareness and Training, to recognize and properly treat Concussions at all levels. As well as establishing accessible Rehab facilities around the country. Those that have suffered from concussions, may be one of the best Resources to learn from.

This is so useful for Me to hear because I’m sure others can relate to how scary even existing can be with the symptoms especially with flare ups or bad days. I’m only 4 months in with My post concussion symndrome I hate my life like this and all I want to do is stay in bed and watch tv, it’s taking everything I have and more to just go on like 5-10min walks up and down my street every other day

Thank you for the information. Bless you

I have a tbi when I was 10 then a concussion from back in June I have always had emotional issues.

Thanks for this. Some times it hard to not feel alone post TBI. This helped :)

Sounds like how autistic people process and respond to emotions.

exactly my experience. thank you for articulating every detail so well!

I may have had 8 decent nights sleep since my fall on ice in 2009! Had sleep study at Dartmouth and all they talked about how I don't need a CPAP! I told them before going in from working in a sleep study group in the 90's that I didn't need it! I just need to sleep but with my 8-9 concussions (which were finally diagnosed in 2013) I have multiple sleep disturbances from 30-80 per night probably from my TBIs...😵🥱 Exhausted, brain fatigue, brain fog, can't remember things, wake up about 10 hours after being up, storms barometric pressure, knock me on my butt, almost vegetation state!! life stinks!! But I keep plugging away 15 1/2 years later!! 😢🫤

Do the dishes & laundry 😂 I'm trying to keep myself housed

I get flare-ups almost every night in my sleep! So I am recovering from that all day, only to prepare myself carefully for the next night if sleep with hopefully no flare-ups

You do such a great job! Glad we were able to make the Brain Injury Awareness Day(s) on the Hill!! Keep going!!

** This might be too sensitive or come on come off or come off rude Or something.*** I'm not tech Savvy and I have to try to talk instead of typing and it messes up too. Which probably doesn't matter. Cause I messed up anyways... Positivness is great to see. I writing before the Doctor dude is on b4 i forget, not such a good day right now. Please excuse me struggle to communicate if happening. My TBI happened 39 old. Up bringing bad CPTSD .... FAMILY had me hurt, this not first time almost Succeeded. There's people that know.... to long to get into ... 2015 2nd ON 2 year mark.. i was starting to be really good.. So I notice young people have way better chances they young and still have love,patience, support with them. Going to be a great success stories, ya know.? Which don't Get me wrong So very happy for them. I would not wish this on the People. that did this to me Even. Hate the sin, not the sinner.. I need to see real stories on. Fellow survivors who Didn't get so lucky. Like the dark side coming to light if ever.. Trillions of us end up homeless and judged Re. Abused. Even re abused by State housing and State team. People that are too help you. Getting turned down for E Every.. Thing period because you are below poverty and are. Alone and disposable. You're literally told that. And while on the worst lowest insurance that you cannot get the help that you need, nor have the money to do what you need to do to heal. Not even a drug addict or alcoholic. Just. Trying to survive. Consent survival mode. Retromatized after retromatizes. I watch these videos in hopes, but my insurance will not be enough. To take advice for doctors and such.. Need videos of the hard hellish stuff like this like me and if there's hope there seems to be no hope. It's been so long now. Too long, too tired. And that is a understatement. These videos people seem to care, but they are behind their screens.
