thanks for a response

Hi there, I hope you have since told your doctor about the new mva. I understand about multiple head traumas as I have lived through several "mild" tbis. It is hard to fill out disability paperwork when you are confused and disoriented. If possible, ask for help with this process from someone that knew you before and after your most recent head injury. If you have not already done so, try to get a neuropsych evaluation. This will not only help you with your disability case, but will also help you to see what therapies are available to you. I had to relearn so much by myself, and learned a lot when I finally was able to get tested by a neuro psychologist that had a lot of experience with head trauma. Ask your neurologist about what you can do to help yourself. If you have family or good friends close by, explain that you are having problems and what you need help with ie: paying bills, making medical appointments and getting there, grocery shopping, what ever it is you are struggling with. I keep a journal even now, 4 years later, to help me write down how I feel. One of the hardest things I faced was explaining what I felt, how I now felt different, what I was struggling with, and what I needed help with. This might help you to have when you go to the doctors to show them what is hard to remember and communicate in person. I hope this helps some. Please hang in there!

Hi there. Thanks for responding and yes I have finally told my primary about the mva and I also got an attorney and gave them alot of paperwork. On the next appeal thru SSD where I have to be in front of a Judge, I finally rememered to tell them about the second HI. I have been seeing psychologist and a psychiatrist. I will see about the testing with neuro psychologist.

It's seems difficult to start a journal when my thoughts are scattered. I think of and forget things so fast thats I am going no where fast. But I am alive and this second head inj. has brought on other things in my personality. God bless the people that have never hit thier heads and God help the people that have. I seem to have more of a sense of humor now and I do things...stupid things.. that is all together disturbing but all I can do is laugh. like they say...What doesn't kill us makes us stonger..I'm well on my way to being a SUPER HERO!

Now that the paperwork TO disability is gone perhaps I can start a journal. thanks for help.
