What can help with irritability and insomnia

To all who have suffered a TBI recently or long ago, I suffered my first 15 years ago! Then my last one a year ago!
I guess being older made me question what I was going through this time! The medical profession gives you very little help! They give you meds for a short term then they let you go out on your own. I had a very heated discussion with my first Neurologist. I just wanted a simple article or where to understand what I was going through!! Fired him after the visit when I was out of the hospital! I did some research on the subject! I found the Best Book to help me understand what symptoms, moods, thoughts and limitations I was going through!
It is called "LIVING WITH BRAIN INJURY", A guide for patients and Families! Written by Richard C. Senelick, MD
No matter where in the brain the injury took place. It explains about mental and physical issues you can go through after a TBI! So many people who go through a TBI but don't realize how their personality! Before this TBI and with doctors they just send you on your Merry Way.
It gave me insights that even after a year how the injury affects you in so many ways.!
I highly recommend the book for those who have suffered a TBI or more important those who live with a person who has suffered one and their change in personality.!
Please feel free to ask me any questions that I may be able to help with!
Interesting to note, I had to learn to write again, work on a computer, walk a Stright line among other things. What really baffled my doctor is the day after getting out of the hospital, I had no trouble driving a car!
I hope the book will help anyone who is suffering from a brain injury!

You all wrote: anger management classes, “my TBI was 30 years ago”, some of teachers & PhD’s, “My memory is good, sometime slow… Names and faces... take quite a few tries”, “Retreat to my hobbies and interests…”. , “Frontal lobe damage…”. There’s different ways of different people who became a TBI. Some worse or not as bad.

Look at the “worse” brain-injury people of their totally hospitalized or just at home. But losing their educations or friends or employees or traveling or writing/reading/understanding or walking outside or helping someone else and on… The “worse”, I’m there.

Thanks, Sundance. I was looking thru my google-search and it’s $4.50 from thrift book, but you pay another $5.95 for shipping. Maybe Walmart online with another used book…
Thx,

Greg I think I got mine on Amazon 10 months ago. I regardless it was the best help I have found to understand TBI. I got very positive reaction from my current neurologist. If I all of a Sudden I do something I normally don't do I go to the book to find an answer that I am not imaging things,
I didn't put in my original reply, I also have Late Stage Lyme disease have had for 5 years. Problem is if you line up symptoms for both they can mirror each other~!
Good Luck,

After living with a sinus infection for several years I began having cognitive impairment. I had a resident for a primary care doctor who was not experienced enough and the only way I was able to climb back out of this situation was via books that my children and brother got me. A good set of books that offered guidance on self care included the encyclopedia of natural medicine by Murray and pizzorno. And all the books by Phylis balch. These authors also have books on diet. Not having cholesterol issues I started eating large quantities of eggs and cheese and eating salmon and other wild fish (Alaskan not Atlantic). Started to regain my concentration and got sinus surgery and had an object come out. Further work and vitamins and supplements and herbs and antiseptic sinus rinse solved the issue

I saw a copy of Senelick's "Living With Brain Injury" on Ebay for $6, shipped (sorry about the long URL):

@colleenyoung It has been a rocky road.

Once when an engineer Falsified Certification on a system that I was a team member of, and the manager above went with it and started shipping defective products I took the engineer and grabbed him by both wrists and picked him up and jammed his head through the ceiling acoustic tiles. Then I threatened to kill the manager “stone cold dead”. Amazingly everyone in the team came behind me and the manager was demoted and the engineer assigned to another project. Sadly it was not feasible to solve all the issues and recall after recall ensued

Yes, reading that for him and his family is great. Sure. I can’t read so fast ir8nderstandung all this, but I enjoyed the part if:
A) getting 4 ladies and taking them a dinner in 1969
B) Helping his mom was working foods during WWII
C) When he was sick and his sister when little ones
D) and a few others

I could not read towards the end.
