>JohnL-
Thanks. I have searched most of Dr. Bob's Tips
but have not found anything relating to this
subject. Do you recall which link addressed this?
(if not, don't spend time searching, I'll continue
to search)I have thought for years that my past injuries
were responsible for, or at least contributed to,
some of my limitations, especially dysthymia and
cognitive deterioration (my own subjective perception).As I understand it, the effects of brain injuries
can worsen as one ages. I've never had a neuro
exam, my GPs have not thought it was necessary. I
am going to insist on it now, but if there are
abnormalities, I'm unsure what, if any, treatment
is available, except to treat the symptoms.
