Brain Injury

I was attacked by my students in '02. They turned out lights and hit me over the head with my music stand. A Spec scan showed brain injury. I take 30 meds, seizures, PTSD, sleep walk, have sirens on bedroom
doors, now fall out of bed, diagnosed now with sleep apnea, BC/BS denies me a pet scan, had a neurpsch. in'03
and now beginning dementia. I was asst. dir. of The Battin Clinic in Houston. Dr. r. Ray Battin is a clinical neuropsychologist, speech pathologist, audiologist, authored in all 3 fields. She has agrred to do another neuro on me but suggested I get a fMRI. Mayo just came out with their newster featuring the fMRI.
My voice Dr. there could get me in in 3 weeks. THEY ARE ONLY doing trials. Menorah Hospital here was buying one
but due to clinical trials have cancelled their order.I am not able to do the Roger Pitman Propananol PTSD
EMDR protocal because I have to estify at my Work. Comp trial. I am on Dis. Soc Sec,andhave to pay BC/BS $1022.
out-of-pocket because I kidney disease. My #'s are 40's, filtration is l6.5-I'm on a hemoglobin
study for two more yrs. from England. Please help me either find a site for the fMRI or
siggest another option for me-Thank you-Paul
