A nose bleed is: not a sign of traumatic brain injury.Headache,dizziness,and fatigue,however,can be.Did you sustain ,or were you diagnosed with, a concussion?

Question 3

nerves in head react to sun and iritate my head making me have mood changes also my personality changed had head trauma no sign of brain injury in mri?

Accepted Answer

Question is ?: Significant head trauma can possibly cause personality changes. I've never heard of sun- reactions initiating lasting mood changes. Perhaps your changes in mood  are only created by worry. Best way to find out is to seek psychological or psychiatric help. At 19 you are vulnerable to worry and anxiety. Please seek help to alleviate your concerns which may have no  basis in reality. You're normal.

Question 4

could only sign of a brain injury in a 2 year old be crankiness? hit his head on cement 3 days ago. small bump on forehead gone. no other symptoms & he's getting molars. didn't lose consciousness or cry. perrla.

Accepted Answer

No problems: At this point it sounds like be is doing well just chalk it up to the school of hard knocks.

Question 5

i have brain injury, what to expect ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Really depends on what you are asking about -- residual cognitive dysfunction, memory or possibility of seizures are all possible sequellae of head trauma.

Question 6

i want to know why i can't get any relief from this brain injury?

Accepted Answer

Can't answer: You have to provide more details. Specifically when, how, what tests were done and does a specialist care for you. No one can answer the question you posed without specifics.

Question 7

why do i have no memory of who i was before my brain injury is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Amnesia: Memory is often affected by a brain injury, as well as stroke, MS, etc.  Whether memory is affected or not does not necessarily mean the injury is bad.  If there is more than one cause of a memory deficit, that can complicate the interpretation.

It may help your memory to spend time thinking about who you are.  Make notes about your past, read letters, look at pix, talk to friends- it can help.

Question 8

what do you recommend if i have a hard time understanding , brain injury ?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Would need more information. There are many possibilities to such a symptom: for example, it could be brain injury (or to be more clear, effects after a brain injury), or a sensory intake/processing issue- such as poor hearing, auditory processing dysfunction, or mood related- anxiety can also cause this by taking away from attention.

Question 9

wondering if it is possible i could be suffering from a long term brain injury?

Accepted Answer

Head trauma: If you suffered a head injury, and now have cognitive issues, it is possible, but many folks experience a post-traumatic stress disorder which causes problems with both emotions and intellectual pursuits.  If this describes you, seek a psychiatrist or psychologist, and get an evaluation.

Question 10

i have a brain injury and ever since i've had this i've had no interest in sex is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Brain injury: Brain injuries can cause many and varied symptoms such as the one you are having. It is normal for you in this situation, but not for all brain injury patients.
Please discuss your situation with your doctor and also perhaps a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. They may be able to help.
