Quest To Prove Tbi

[killemall]

Like many of you I spend way to much time thinking about this stuff but I decided to keep an updated logg of my progress and what better place to keep it than here.

Back in 98 while in basic training I was knocked unconcious when a fellow recruit hit me in the head from behind by swinging butt stock of his m16 like a batt. I was unconcious for nine hours and awakened at 3 am when I was found in the woods.

The drill sgts swept it under the rug and was simply labeled as a training accident.

Fast forward 14 years and I have many problems.

Sever loss of hearing

Loss of balance

Slurred speech

Numbness in left facial area with drooling

Decreased memory

It was all a lil too much and I contacted the suicide hotline.

In the middle of may 2012 I was seen by a phych and after describeing my symptoms the doc asked if I ever had an head injury to which I described the above.

A week later I went to intake were I was recommended to go through neurology.

The first week of june I was seen by my provider. I was given a cat scan wich came back clean.

My next apointment was the beginning of july 2012 with my provider. I am now scheduled for the following in the month of July 2012

Neurology

Neuneurology

Mri

Sleep apnea

Ill update the results of the appointmentments

Hard to belieave I started this thread two years ago. I havent given up. I have sent lots of evidence and opened a clain for tbi a year ago. Hopefully a c&p any day now

Thought for Tbi but for depression and anxiety secondary to hearing loss and tinitus.

The fight continues for tbi

Got a bunch of ratings for hearing loss shoulders and wrist a few days ago but they still did not service connect tbi. The fight continues

killemall,

I am curious as to how you found the guy who knocked you unconscious. If he doesn't help you, perhaps the others who found you unconscious would be willing to write buddy letters if you can locate them. The different Veterans Service Organizations have something like a "Trying to Locate" section in their magazines to assist veterans and others locate former military personnel who served with them or their family members.

If you have a Platoon Book from your boot camp days, it should show the full names of the the other members of your boot camp platoon. If you don't have a platoon book, you could probably contact the public information officer at the base where you went to boot camp and find out where to get one or at least view one. I would think they would have the platoon books archived somewhere, perhaps in the base library. The public information officer might have some other suggestions on how to get info on the other members of your boot camp platoon.

Good luck to you.

Sorry for the double post. Trying to do two things at once.
