Diagnóstico de daño cerebral traumático

Si le han diagnosticado una lesión cerebral traumática, dedique algún tiempo a conocer en qué consiste su lesión. A diferencia de las lesiones simples o menos complejas, las lesiones cerebrales traumáticas son complicadas y pueden alterar la vida. ¿Por qué? Porque el cerebro es el organismo más avanzado del cuerpo y la más mínima alteración de su funcionamiento puede causar graves complicaciones.

Tenga cuidado en quién confía

Unfortunately the area of TBI’s are lucrative and attorneys and law firms will go to many lengths to get your case. Some of the most interesting examples include law-firms creating entirely different web pages to deceive victims. These web pages are designed to look like forums and resource links, but merely serve as a referral center for law firms. I find this practice deceitful and un-ethical. Law firms should clearly state identify themselves to their potential clients. It is always troubling to see attorneys or law firms who act in this manner and we always inform our clients that firms that act in such a manner to obtain your case may not be fair and honest through the course of representation. Selecting the right form of representation is generally a very personal choice. Often time’s clients need to feel that their attorney cares and understands their frustration. Ultimately the decision is yours and you must choose the person or firm you are most comfortable with.

¿Me recuperaré con el tiempo?

This is often a hard and difficult question to answer. Many times it really comes down to the person. If you fight for your health and live an active life, you will likely recover. A TBI does not need to be a social death sentence. There are plenty of groups and opportunities out there; it is just a matter of connecting with the right people. You need to believe that you will get better and actively make progress everyday to do so. Whether you will have a recovery is un-certain. Your doctor or neurologist can probably give you a good indication of what your chances are. However, the key component to your recovery is yourself.

Cambios de humor

Yes, mood swings are known side effect of a TBI. After a serious head injury your mood and behavior can change. This can be anything from a subtle shift in behavior to a more drastic one. Each person has a different reaction. It is important to understand that these behavioral shifts are normal and you must work to get better. Recovery is a long process and requires patience and belief that you will ultimately recover. A positive attitude is a powerful tool and you must try  to keep a healthy outlook. There are other side effects as well including sexual changes, blurry vision, headaches and other related issues. Your doctor and medical reports will detail all issues and a strategy and recovery plan will be worked out to aid your recovery.
