ptsd Could I have TBI?

[wablackwell]

I saw my counselor today for PTSD. She wants to get me tested for TBI. I told her that I never been Been our IED"s or big explosion. But I have got hit in the head several time in my military career. Even had an concussions and got stitches in my head. Could that cause TBI? The reason she was to get me tested is that I have a hard time memory to do simple task. I even forget that I already took my my prescriptions and then I take them again or gorget I took them at all. Could I have TBI by getting hit in the head several times in my military career. What are the symptoms of TBI. Thanks Bill

Yes, you could have TBI.  Only a doctor can diagnose you with TBI.  I suggest you take the advice and be tested for it.

W,

That or you could have other reasons for congnitive dificulties.  You may want to see a real Doctor now that the counselor is saying something is amiss.

It could be a current medication or because of another injury or illness.

And it could be secondary to one of your current sevice connected ailments and then you should claim it.

FWIW,
