My baby has intense gas pains. He's also teething. It is impossible to sleep at night. I definitely shake my leg fast. Even this is not enough. For example, he loves swinging in a blanket (because he feels empty). Could what I do do any harm? Frankly, I was a little worried when I watched the videos...
I knew I was better when I woke up and I was not immediately reaching for my pills because it all hurt so bad. If others have these symptoms, ask about just having a neuro-surgeon cut the nerve. It can be up to a 4 hour surgery. Mine was 2 hours because they found the nerve and cut it right away. i was told that once your skull is opened, that it's like looking for a piece of dental floss that you dropped in your front yard. They found my dental floss quickly. This was life changing surgery for me. It ended 3 years of debilitating pain. If others have Occipital Nerve problems, I hope this can work for you.
As a survivor of chronic narcissistic abuse from seven family members from the time I was an infant. PTSD had always been explained to be a veteran problem and I suffered for decades. People thought I was crazy because I would withdraw. They say you’re a professional one hand, but then you weredistant and you cut people off my life was wasted because this information wasn’t available until I’m 50 years old
13 years later, and I'm just now finding someone that explains how "different tools for different problems" applies to mental health. If THIS is the pace we're at, we're fucked.
My wife has PTSD my question is is it contagious can her trauma and her actions caused me to have trauma been married for 10 years and honestly it's been the worst 10 years in my entire life but I have been fighting for my marriage I'm not a quitter
Want to be clear. I did EVERTHING!!!!! Shots around my head, shots into my occipital nerves, ablations, Gabapentin, Carbamazepine, etc. Get to a neurologist and ask for a referral to a neuro-surgeon. My neurosurgeon would not even schedule an appointment with me without it. SURGERY WORKED!!!!! Two months later. No pain. Nerve was totally cut. Back of head is totally numb for life but I don't care. Hope everyone gets help. I went to a large city with lots of doctors. I came from a very rural area and the city has better resources. God Bless!!!
For me, I had occipital nerve totally cut by neuro-surgeon. Worked totally!!!! Had three years of pain. You might need your neurologist to give you a referral.
This is my 2nd TBI. After the first my emotions went through the roof out of no where. After the 2nd my empathy is gone for living things. I look at people and I can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do. I lost all my hobbies, all my friends seem to not recognize me. I’m unable to watch television, listen to music, or play video games, due to heightened empathy. Something on tv will display emotion and my body immediately reacts as if it’s happening to me. My wife isn’t sure what to make of me anymore. I long to be close to others but I’m always left behind wondering what I’m supposed to feel. The headaches and tinnitus are already crushing me but I never thought I would be so alone.
I dont know what to do anymore. My fisnce has had a dead lemon sized brain tumor in her left frontal lobe. Its been 8 years, shes doing very well in every aspect but a few, the hardest part, is that she is not the girl who loves me anymore. She used to love me SO hard. I had to peel her off of me every night to fall asleep, she was obsessed with me, for the first 8 years of our relationship, before her tbi, in the last 8 years since, she hasn't tried to initiate sex with me ONCE, not once in 8 years. Shes age regressed, and shows absolutely no interest in love, a relationship, or especially sex. Its not that we havnt had sex in 8 years, we have. But i almost have to guilt her into it, and that feels like total shit, i cant even be like that anymore. But if i dont make any effort neither will she. I just cant live like this anymore. My girl whos life i saved, is gone. I mean shes here, but my girlfriend who loved me is gone. I never thought something like this was even possible. She doesnt even touch me, grab my hand, give me a hug or a kiss, nothing. If i ask for one, its like im botheting her 😔🤦♂️. We didnt have a perfect relationship pre TBI, but as someone who didnt know what he had till its gone, I would give ANYTHING to have my girl bsck, even though she's sitting right next to me in bed as I write this. Can anyone relate? Offer any advice of substance? Thank you. Its gotten progressively worse over the years. we're 37 and 38🤦♂️
Hi. Do you guys do anything that seems fun together? Does she enjoy anything? Sex gets old and it isn't super important as you get older. Do you guys have anything else?
So you are a psychologist if you look at the effects of methamphetamine eventually when people start getting to that point to where they're talking to themselves are you comparing it to Alzheimer's one of the reasons I asked the feeling of the voices that are surrounding you it makes me wonder if these code generators are the satellite concepts are turning inside our housings and then stuff just repeating pattern recognition and getting stuck inside of us
Or one of the big things with methamphetamine is lot of them have habits that they went and they committed crime and then I go to jail but then they get on probation were there being investigated and it makes you wonder if these cops are scramblers getting stuck in people's brain waves
What is .. " if you your not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about " .. I counter that by saying mass surveillance is a form of slavery of folks who are aware of their surroundings is completely narcissistic and what made me become a prisoner of my own town , home and eventually mind when things started piling up and creating chaos , another symbol of the leviathan . Chaos .. piles of stuff .. unemployment by fear of leaving home due to multiple break-ins and other . Starvation by not having any money due to unemployment the first year . Not being in my nature to ask for handouts I waited and waited before finally applying for food stamps . The gaslighting of sending the individual to mental wards instead of actually looking and listening to what they are explaining # we aren't having a mass hallucination .. GANGSTALKING by so-called NPCs 🤳😷💉 is very real . What is they/them creating a black mass ritual and not even knowing it but the ones that came a knocking at my door were aware and doing it on purpose ( shape shifters or sum shyt ) . The clenching of the feet and toes ( stress cortisol etc ) of things piling up to the point of only having pathways or tripping over stuff in my own home . What is mmkay Ultra really about ?
This drug is the devils making. Nothing good can come from it. Not saying this guy is Satan. But I'm sure Satan told him how to make it. Ask any addict that has been able to get free free from using using it.
I'm 35 years post TBI, and I am working on my PhD. I have had very little disability accommodation because I did not want to get labeled as a special ed case. I can perform well in school, I have before is what I thought, but I finally broke down when I had a few seizures to get disability accommodations in my Senior year and Masters program year and a half. It was helpful, but I wonder what kinds of work should actually not allow me to do certain tasks because of the chance of falling and stuff.
most of us with brain injuries are being driven into poverty by way of medical bills with the very same cadre of "helping professionals" who billed us later returning into our lives so as to criminalize and kill us. hence doctors,. lawyers, cops and therapists etc. are our mortal enemies, nothing but hyperviolent con artists high on the the smell of their own anus and addicted to the blood of those they've lured to ruin. like this "Mason" guy . total nutcase. barely any information provided, he's a problem that should be avoided.
My TBI was not properly diagnosed for a few years(it was 10 years ago). I remember going to a specialist and thinking I would be a waste of her time. She started telling me how my life was. I was blown away because she was spot on! I finally had to stop working, which has been devastating. I recently found watercolor painting and it feels like it’s starting to make connections.
"Treatment for depression?" all of them are scientifically invalid, imposing costs that destroy the patient. "Cognitive behavioral therapy," it's nothing but junk science. There are no adults in the medical profession.
i was about 8 when i got a couple of TBI on my bike my behaviour really began to be "odd" after that, my eye lids started blinking a lot ( i have this to this day ) i started masturbating in class and my behaviour generally was strange i had no interest in forming close emotional or social interactions with anyone including my family i started stealing money from my parents stealing their cigarettes and alcohol and even drank to black out a few times. i had no normal healthy inhibitions for example when i was about 9 i got into a car with some elderly pedophiles who drove off with me and made me look at pornography whilst they masturbated. i never told my family about any of these things because we never talked about anything important really. In my teens i became a loner was sent to boarding school but formed no close friendships and was sexually abused by a teacher and my god father and older boys repeatedly . by the time i left school at about 16 i was educationally very low and fell into full on drug addiction which was with me for the next 40 years. I developed excruciating headaches for about 30 years and during one of my head scans i was told that i had had a skull fracture over my right frontal lobe that went untreated and undiagnosed during one of my bike accidents as a child. i am 70 now and never had children and whilst being married twice including to the wonderful woman i am currently with for 30 years, i never have felt emotionally close to anyone. its like i have been a shell with nothing inside for all my adult life. i am just tired and want the permanent anxiety gone. i just wish that i had had treatment over 60 years ago who knows what my life would have been like and what the life of those who cared about me might have been like.
I experience all three of these types. I don’t like to touch people and I don’t really like people to touch me, but I’m working on it with my husband. I love my husband to death but I just can’t get my body to show him. It’s like I can only tell him and do things like cooking dinner and packing his lunches for work. That’s my version of physical touch in a way. The second one I do without noticing I do it and it’s always anger that comes out. I’ll answer questions with anger when I’m not even genuinely angry. I’m working on that too. My MIL asked me if our recycle bin takes glass bottles and I just snapped and told her to ask Alexa and I yelled out “Hey Siri” instead and it was frustrating but I wasn’t angry. I was trying to answer her question while I was elbow deep in dish water. Definitely need improvement on my delivery. The third one is anytime I see anything that’s wholesome/family oriented I get overwhelmed and flooded with sadness and I’ll start to cry out of the blue. I don’t need to cry. I don’t want to cry, but it almost physically hurts to stop myself and “suck it back in”. It’s like I can feel the emotion surging through me. It’s always sadness too. This one idk how to work on yet. Any and all suggestions are welcome though. It’s crazy to me that we moved 2 states away from our families and it didn’t bother me one bit. Moving is supposed to be one of the most stressful things a person can do and I just did it without any stress. I’m actually shocked. I didn’t worry about anything. Nothing phased me about driving 12 hours in one and a half days to fill up a storage unit 2 states away with little to no sleep even though we didn’t have a hotel room booked. Didn’t stress about it at all. I don’t understand me.
Thanks Brandon for sharing your story you are very inspirational I can hear you are trying to be sooo positive even though you have depression I fell off a pushbike in 2018 in Bali and had a severe tbi but in Australia I had the best rehab had the best support as you said it is an invisible injury which makes it hard and you can’t see anything as to everyone thinks I’m back to normal again they can’t see my issues with balance, fatigue, I have vertigo now and my memory long and short term are terrible, I never had depression so I have been very lucky, however I’m back at work full time it took 4 years to finally get there and I’m on Ritalin which keeps me awake and helps me concentrate so I’m going ok and feel very lucky to get a second chance at life as that’s what it is all about ❤❤❤
I had a really bad fever when I was in middle school possibly from meningitis and I hate how I am now as an adult anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, short term memory problems, worsened ocd
I got my first diagnosed tbi in my senior year of high school during football practice. I was naive and did not say anything, I also didn’t realize I had one.l just thought I was sick. I played the rest of the season and it got worse and worse. School which was easy was now impossible, I couldn’t read, do math or literally think. I lost almost all my friends, to be fair I I tried to be a good friend but I literally couldn’t keep up. It’s been 2 years and this popped up on my page, I almost cried because I thought I was just being a wimp the whole time. I’m thankful to find people that have gone through this, and thank yall for making me feel not alone. I’ll pray for all of yall and Godspeed on recovery!
I don't think health care physicians should be making notes on one's medical record that one is being irritable. As long as there is no hostility, then irritability can be seen as empowerment.
