  • Summary

  • Your host, Dr. Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC will be talking about navigating our lives following a brain trauma. There are expected changes after a TBI and some unexpected ones as well. I can talk about my own experience, and everyone's is different. I'm in the process of writing a book _My Guardian Angel Has a Sense of Humor_ because I believe we always get what we ask for, WHETHER IT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANTED, OR NOT. As I've written, we often beg for an immediate solution, when we have several things going on in our minds at the time. We might very well get them all, in spite of just the one we ask for. It's impossible to actually know what's going to happen, but there are some expected physical symptoms following a brain injury. The brain swells and sends out "the alarm chemicals" immediately following a trauma. These cause inflammation and swelling that can last for weeks, months, or years, depending on the severity of the trauma. This swelling then causes the symptoms we see. As everyone in this community knows, there are others, as well Medical imaging tests cannot show what's going on inside the mind. Several years following my trauma, I knew I was different, but the MDs said that everything looked normal. A diagnosis is for the MD, not the patient. There is usually complicating factors such as mental and psychological changes that are not officially diagnosed. Then there are the changes wrought by the medications we take. So, nothing is the same AFTERWARDS, nor guaranteed. I'd love to hear from others who have had uprooting of their lives following a TBI.
