@@cederveltman all at once......it was horrible......I remember everyone I had left behind.......none of them know the truth.....I was even engaged to an awesome girl.....but lost her due to the injury......I have also lost my wife now.....because it has opened up a lot sadness.....some days I wish it never returned.....the day it returned my dreams, that whole week ,were of my life 27years ago.......like it was just paused some how.
I lost mine in a near fatal motorcycle accident. I hope THAT memory doesn't come back. God bless you man. I hope everything works out tremendously well for you.
In what way do they not understand you? If it's ok I'd like to know more. I know what it's like to be misunderstood and hated for it. So you're not alone and I don't want you to feel lonely
Exactly! Thats exactly what it feels like. Only now add.. I forget what I'm saying/thinking and it's driving me insane. What I know is things that were traumatic to me after tbi I remember pretty much on the money.. but everyday life remembering is a challenge. Reading drives me nuts.. my eyes/brain or whatever is happening makes it so hard. Thank you so much!
Recently, my friend who also have an amnesia after a near fatal accident can't remember our names. Little by little, his memories come back but only selective. He can remember faces but not the names. He also forgot how he became hospitalized. The motor accident damaged his left temporal.
Well I got knocked out in football and woke up not recognising anyone not knowing how long I had left or how long I'd been there ( incarcerated 16yrs old ) my memory came back slowly 24hrs later but not all of it. I can't remember anything before 11/12 yrs old . It's been nearly 30 yrs. Still no childhood memories
I just had an accident yesterday. & I don't remember a thing about yesterday. Things like when did I leave my home for college & after an accident how did I get home by myself. It all felt like a bad dream to me. Thank God that I was wearing a helmet while riding my motorcycle. But I don't remember anything. I don't know what to do . I feel so strange rn .
Very informative.I got a crash 9 months back.I was unconscious for some hours but my bad i was drunk.After waking i had no memories and actually couldn't tell what happened.I used to talk like a kid for two weeks without reasoning.I later recovered and went back to job where am a software engineer just perfoming well but untill today i have problems with memory.I cant remember past things or even remember a dream.Every past memories is a stream of unfinished stuffs.
Guau! 25 years to recover your memory it’s a loong time how did you react? I’m curious because I don’t remember anything about a car accident where I suffered a tbi 8 months ago and it makes me nervous just to think how i’m going to react the moment i recover that memory!
I was involved in a car accident as a toddler and suffered a head injury. I've had 3 concussions playing football. 2 head injuries from doing stupid stunts 2 concussions doing MMA 1 concussions from a fight 2 concussions after being jumped by gang members 1 TBI from a 50 mph car accident, in which I hit a dump truck head on totalling my car. It's a wonder my brain even still works. If it were not for CBT training, neuroplastic training, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, BDNF increasing supplements, and neuroprotective/bioenergetic supplements, I'd be in serious trouble! My memory was so bad at one point, I would forget my car keys 15 times in one day. I couldn't remember meals I had just ate or what I was getting ready to do. After doing the above treatments, about 80% of my memory has been restored. My only concern now is lack of working memory. I also still struggle with a little anterograde amnesia, but it has significantly improved.
Hi warrior, I was hoping to learn more about treatments and doses you took that you found the most helpful. Over the years I've had some concussions but the icing on the cake was a tbi about a year and a half ago, since then it's been a daily struggle. I hope you are keeping well and if you have time to talk about this I would appreciate it.
@@coppercatfish4265 Ginkgo biloba: 120mg daily vitamin shoppe brand. Standardized to 24% glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. Must have these two for their cognitive enhancing effects and cerebral blood flow Sports Research's fish oil: 3gm (or 3 capsules) of EPA/DHA daily. As you know the brain is made of omega 3s, particularly DHA. Swanson vitamins gotu kola extract: 2 caps daily. Works similar to ginkgo. BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) increasing supplements: Lithium orotate: 3-5mg daily. Lithium is shown to increase BDNF significantly. BDNF is the starting material for new neurons in the brain. Lithium increases brain volume by 1% percent in just a couple of weeks. It also helps the left & right hemispheres communicate properly. Noopept: 10mg daily. Noopept is shown to increase BDNF Neuroprotective supplements: Natrol's alpha lipoic acid. 100mg. ALA is an antioxidant shown to protect the nervous system from oxidative damage, including in the kidneys and brain. CoQ10, Target brand: 200mg daily. CoQ10 is one of the most powerful antioxidants. I know there are studies showing ubiquinol to be superior and glutathione to be better, but IMO CoQ10 works best for protecting the nervous system. Bioenergetic supps: Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ): 10mg daily. PQQ increases mitochondrial density of cells, allowing them to create energy (ATP) more efficiently. Because of this, neurons are able to live their life cycle longer, without early cell death. Nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH). 5-10mg daily by Source Naturals or NOW Nutrition. Source Naturals IMO is superior and you can feel the effects on cognition. NADH is the reduced form of vitamin B3, niacin. It helps the brain with energy production. Vitamin B1 (thiamine). 300-500mg daily. B1 helps the nerves in the brain utilize glucose. Many times after a TBI and Wernicke's encephalopathy (alcoholic brain injury) the brain has a difficult time uses glucose. B1 can help here. It's even a prescribed treatment for alcoholics. I would take ALL of these supplements if I were you. But, if you are on a limited budget, here are some options, starting with most effective to most effective with the bare minimum. Option 1: take all supplements Options 2: ginkgo, lithium, fish oil, CoQ10, noopept, B1, NADH Option 3: ginkgo, fish oil, lithium, CoQ10, B1. I will not recommend omiting any further than option 3 or you'd be seriously shortchanging yourself. BTW, I'm doing very well. Would be even better if I stayed away from inflammatory foods... Lol
@@coppercatfish4265 Oh, and doing intense aerobic training for about an hour can assist in increasing BDNF production. I chose cycling because jogging and jumping style exercises tend to give me headaches. I think it has something to do with all the head injuries. Nevertheless, aerobic training has helped me tremendously.
@@coppercatfish4265 hey, just checking to see if you got the info I sent you. It was like 3 paragraphs of stuff, but I no longer see it posted here. Not sure if someone reported my comment or what. Lemme know, and I'll jus rewrite it
I all of a sudden 3 years after a car accident developed seizures and memory problems that feel like I have advances althimersz I forget where I out the keys after I open the car and get in. I put them in weird places like the door console or my backpack. I can't seem to recall any knowledge I so carefully and dutifully learned as a child. I cant recall facts but can all of a sudden do math pretty darn well dance really well and can coriograf a dance, I also became clically depressed my personality changed from a outdoor fanatic that would backpack alone for 20 miles to a couch potato RU-vid loving person. I have not owned a TV since 2011 yet now I am obsessed with it. It is really hard building a new personality I still try to so the things I used to love like camp but I hate it so much so so much
I was in a car accident in February my bestfriend passed away and After my head injury from the crash I can’t remember what happened I’m trying to find answers should I go to hypto therapy ? I don’t know what to do and if I remembered it would help the case if anyone has any suggestions lmk please
2014 cycling from my girlfriends I had an accident i have no memory of it TBI subarracnoid hemorage sub dural hematomas both side frontal lobe damge and i had an intracranial pressure tube in my brain and a tube from my ventricals down to my peroteneum which is permenant I havent cycled since and i had to leave my job as a nurse (dual qualified) make thew most of what you have because one day it may change.
The wind picked up a big bit of wood and hit me in the head. I can't remember anything for 4 days now. I wake up and can't remember a thing from the day before. But if someone reminds me of something i can remember. Very confusing.
Don't worry about it many people face this type of problem. As one of my friends was also facing this memory loss problem then he tried herbal Ginkgo Biloba supplement for the last 4 months and now he is seeing some improvement. He is taking Roncuvita Ginkgo Biloba herbal capsule if you want you may also try it. It is really effective.
i look in the mirror, and dont recognize the person staring back at me. i sit at the dinner table with family, but feels as if they're strangers. I have memories, but feels as if its stolen from another persons life I've never known.
Just had a motorcycle accident last night and have no recall of the accident getting back to my work to get my other half drive me to the ER. I remember absolutely nothing right now.
@@vanessasmook4229 and from my own research utilizing multiple source, figuring out that my mental disabilities (mainly Bipolar with rapid cycling and ADHD in this topic) could be compounding my memory issues. Cause both have attributed to my frequent forgetfulness (though it’s never been for a whole day unless it was an instance to trauma - my brain loves to go like “you don’t need those” lol)
Good day to every one, i have some questions, if someone know or had this before please help me, my girlfriend had a brain surgery two weeks before, now she woke up from coma and can't recognise me, she knows everything but not the last one year where we was together she even don't know me and my name, so question is : is it possible to forget some memories not all ?, and how long it will take to be normal again?, is it possible to bring all memories that was lost? please guys if you know pm me in this comment thank you
Brother same thing has happened to me.... Did she recognise u now??? Brother my gf's family is against us... They r not even allowing me to meet her... They didn't tell me d hospital name .. what should I do now?
@@Mo34565 same here brother, it’s been two months I didn’t talked to her, there parents is also the same to me, I can feel your feelings bro may God give you patience Amin, it’s hard rally hard ❤️
@@Mo34565 I feel so bad for you both! If you see this what is outcome now? My husband who is a stage 5 kidney failure was in a bus accident traveling in Mexico and had head injury. Been a month. His family is helping him there as I am not able to go. Everyday is hard as he is living in a past life. He knows us but not in current time. He calls me his sister sometimes and when I say I am not her but his wife he laughs and says he knows. Everyone says it will pass but I’m worried!
I know TBI is less likely to happen to somone under the age of 20 years because a kid would recover & suffer less damage than if a elderly person had brain injury in the same way
I suffered a TBI back in March through a freak accident at work. I’m 62 years old, but I’m an extremely fit, slim athletic runner with no underlying conditions. I bounced back after six weeks with very slight attention memory problems and loss of smell through damage to my olfactory nerve. The Neurology team, although fantastic, were treating me like I was never going to recover and recommend I didn’t go back to work when I wanted to, which was three months afterwards but I did and I’m still going strong.
