What if the baby had a nose bleed after the head bump (about 6 inches high while crawling), but still acts normally within 48 hours? ❤️
2:02 I know the feeling, I would watch film and did not remember making certain plays, it's kinda scary. Just blacking out, just balling off muscle memory, I remember cracking the fullback And getting a headache right after the hit, the headache lasted for two weeks
Repeated cycles of breakdowns and not understanding how what I blocked out to go on I am at 70 just recognizing finally what happened to me. Am starting a new therapy Monday and hoping to heal. Until a few years ago I didn’t recognize it was trauma or how trauma acted.
Been there. I played college ball but the worst concussion I had was my last game of my senior year of hs. Second play of the game, took a hit on the top of the head. I don't really remember much of the game. Ran for 125 yards on 15 carries. One of the better games of my season and I don't remember any of it.
Thank you. I have had a TBI for 27 years; two brain surgeries. Thank you for sharing your every struggles. You are not alone.
Morgan Congratulations on your position as Congressman, well deserved.Thank you for all your hard work and effort helping your fellow Veteran's, Team mates, and even people u don't really know but have reached out to you for help with TBI it's a lot of information that is desperately needed specially for those who are not aware of or for those who do not know where to start to get the proper help for each significant issue of TBI or PTSD. My Brother had a severe dangerous car accident, very small car his head hit the windshield front end of his car totaledly caved in Miracle he is alive to day. Long story short he suffered brain injury with a blood to his brain. He had wide range difficulties that he went through while waiting for this blood clot to dissolve. At that particular time frame they did not have as much information as they do now and your right I don't think we will ever figure out everything when it comes to our brains maybe that's why God designed us that way. Interesting video! Thank you again.
Nah, it's actually called HELL
Obama opened the door for big brother
Obama killed us all
Welcome to hell the body keeps the score

Or maybe neuro fatigue.

Traume
At about 8 years old I was hit in the back of the head by my friend's baseball bat playing in my backyard, from that point on it took little to knock me out. Played street hockey, junior football, and lacrosse in high school, then joined the US Navy and suffered some concussions, one snowboarding landing on my head (tried a backflip). Got into car accident in 2010 resulted in diagnosis following Post Concussion Syndrome symptoms that lasted to this day. Another car wreck in 2014 developed into dizziness. I still had PCS symptoms but were lessened working out everyday and eating a good diet. However, at 38, just 3 weeks ago developed dementia-like symptoms even sundowning (I had to turn all the lights on at night lost circadian rhythm), forgot my birthday and couldn't form sentences, so CBT will no longer help. This whole time my family, friends, and Doctors still tell me it's in my head. So good luck getting anyone to diagnose or treat you unless you are important and have money. My understanding is only DTI imaging has a chance of diagnosing CTE by the white matter reduction, but that's for sports stars. A PET scan can diagnose Alzheimer's from the amyloid beta plaques and has overlap with CTE symptoms, except CTE is only diagnoseable post-mortem. FMRIs are typically only for clinical settings or when I did one for Psychology in college. Typically functional MRIs can diagnose a form of encephalopathy based on recognized patterns, but this is not a guarantee, since you need a baseline prior to, and the only person who knows you is you. Again, all that might save you is you, and lots of money and luck. God speed to anyone socially isolated by PCS or undiagnosed CTE.
@@user-zi7tu4ep8n I don't think it's possible to enumerate all, but if I was to count from those that first resulted in Post Concussion Syndrome Symptoms, it would be 3, since I had either seen stars falling from +10ft. or had blacked out after a car accident. Recently I just started to have dementia-like symptoms 10 years after the last one. And I'm not in my 60's or 50's. I watched your video and yes PCS symptoms were alleviated by exercise, diet, learning (neuroplasticity) and antidepressants only for a short time. But it doesn't help if you develop dementia. I don't know why you have to blur your face, but good luck with whatever you're doing. Take care bud.
@@user-zi7tu4ep8n Wow this is fun. Idk if this is a bot account, but if you're not as I said I have dementia now. Also idk if that translates well into Russian? Dementia = Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). I have dementia = atrophy of the brain = shrinking of the brain because neurons are dying. That's not overreacting that's just life. C'est la vie! I like your enthusiasm and yes all that you said helped me prior to this point. But again, once you have dementia you no longer have a functioning brain or body due to neurons dying permanently.
@@user-zi7tu4ep8n Yes and it is a result of my head injuries. Head injuries make you so many times more likely to develop some form of dementia. I recommend learning about Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) especially if you played sports like I did my whole life plus military service. However the caveat is CTE is only diagnosable post mortem. DTI (Diffuse Tensor Imaging) might be able to diagnose it based on white matter reduction (myelin sheath) and possibly a biomarker found in CSF = Cerebral Spinal Fluid like the neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease = form of dementia, along with a different tau protein and amyloid beta plaques = clumps of protein in the brain that identify the type of dementia. Lastly, dementia can be diagnosed apart from a more formal diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, CTE, FTD, Vascular Dementia, Mixed Dementia. Also neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's accompany Lewy Body Dementia. Also dementia can arise from encephalopathy as a 'stable' form of dementia.
@@boynamedsue55able I'm sorry! I'm from Russia, and my translator is very bad at communicating with you right now. If you have tried all the methods that were prescribed to you, or the methods that you independently found based on the PubMed research database and they stopped helping. Then I am very extremely sorry about your current illness, If it was indeed diagnosed by a doctor. I hope that God will help you and that this disease can be cured. God bless you
grazie
Been ten years for me
What about people who get movement disorders after TBI?
The only way to solve the problem of concussions in the NFL is to ban brains 🧠🚫
There no help !!!
It is so refreshing to see a BIPOC TBI survivor talking about support. We want to share this video in our group.
That's how it is for me since years.
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
What had or have is not PTSD but CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder)
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
yes <3 im sorry to hear what you are going through. My trauma has effected many others. After working through the trauma even just a little bit I have begun to heal :) so there's hope. Thank you for all you do for her :)
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 legit search for how to sleep well when I'm owing and KZread be recommending what I didn't search for. They do this all the time and it's annoying 😡
I had a head injury 5 years ago, still I have pain in the area even when I touch that area
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 notice changes in myself, often joke that I am possessed.
What kind of changes?

How long can you receive SSDI with a brain injury
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.
Perfectly executed....best understanding I've heard yet...😊
God bless all whom are helping Tbi patients!!
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.

I’m sorry to see this. I can relate to alot of Brandons symptoms. I believe I have some TBI from 5 years of playing football from age 12-16.
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.
It’ll delete this life
