A member asked:

What are the symptoms that can follow a brain injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many: Lack of initiative, loss of taste/smell, nerve dysfunction, facial paralysis, weakness of the extremities, change in personality, loss of vision, memory loss. There are far too many symptoms that can follow traumatic brain injury- if you can imagine it, it can probably happen.
