Thank you for your post. Keep advocating for yourself. Gaslighting from anyone is not acceptable. AKA you are the problem.
So sorry to hear that you can no longer drive. I wouldn't drive for over a year. My husband bought me a new Corvette for my 74th birthday and I have driven it once. The noise of the doors shutting reminds me of my face getting hit. I drive occasionally my VW Bug just up to the store. The part Im dealing with is my family isn't very supportive. Luckily my best friend goes on all my appointments with me. Take care.........
Hi Sue
After a TBI, I had some success with vision exercises from a very good OT.
While different sized eyes sounds concerning. Have you seen a “plain” neurologist? They may have a fresh perspective, or at the least order a new MRI to assess for any changes since your injury.
I hope you have some strength as you seek answers.
Hi....they are starting me on the vision exercises at home since I'm leaving for NY soon. When I get back home end of July I will go for the vision therapy. Yes, I did see just a neurologist and the minute they hear you had an accident they don't want anything to do with you. I saw a Neurophysiologist and the minute I mentioned "accident" he literally threw me out of his office. He got up from chair and said "I can't talk to you , leave now and you will not be billed"..I asked the Neurologist who was suppose to be a concussion expert, if my BP that was in the 200's was associated with the TBI. He said he never heard of that. The NIH.gov website shows it can cause your BP to be erratic. I certainly have the strength to find answers, what I'm lacking is support. Here is a picture of what my eyes look like. Then they also found a problem with my hearing. My brain isn't processing what people are saying. I'm understanding different meanings of what people are telling me. It's just nuts...the bangs are hiding the dent on my forehead. Thank you for your message, it means a lot.
