Hi Folks, this is Ann from South St Paul--just joined the project yesterday and am SO happy that the computer algorithm put me in the Remote Care group. I just spent a few minutes browsing various posts here and have already found three specific things to try out for dealing with the dizziness. This is going to be a valuable resource. My TBI journey began last Dec. 28, day of a big ice storm in the Twin Cities. I was headed out at 7:30 a.m. as usual, to start my day with an hour of laps in a nearby pool. I slipped on the ice, landing in the middle of the street, knocked out. I came to expecting to be run over. It was very scary to lie in the street, calling for help and have no one come for a long time. Ended up in the hospital for a couple of days, no brain bleed, but a nasty scalp wound, persistent headache, bad dizzies, fatigue, and speech deficits. Speech and physical therapy over the next months helped a lot, but all closed down in March and my progress slowed down too. I'm looking forward, now 7 months out, to discovering things I can do on my own to improve.
