Question

Guest Vietnam Tanker

I kept my appointment today for a TBI screening, (even though some have said it only applies to current war Vets) I was surprised at the forms I had to fill out on arrival they listed all the current wars as well as Nam, Korea, WWII, WWI, the screening took a little over two hours and when I left I had several future appointments with a Neurologist, a cardiologist, CT Scan of the brain, an MRI of the neck and right shoulder,a Shrink, pain clinic and several others, I was given the Doc's business card and told to call and check in every wednesday untill all tests are done, I show a serious cognitve issue as well as multiple health issues that are possibly caused by the GSW to the head 41 years ago.They then gave me another appointment for follow-up testing etc, in six weeks. If they can relieve the pain in my neck and the headaches it will be well worth the trouble of dealing with them :rolleyes: ;)

Good to hear. They may well be able to help with the headaches. There have been some good imporovements in headache treatment in the last couple years.

I'm afraid I practicly begged for help with my tbi issues here and was told to be satisfied with the lack of treatment or move to a region that has a tbi center.
