Can the effects of my Brain Injury worsen?

by Steph_Turtle, Aug 04, 2008 01:05PM
I am 29years old and have had a Traumatic Brain Injury for 11 years.  I have been pretty lucky, because even with my short term memory problems, my confusion and my loss of direction, I have still been able to graduate from college and maintain a perfessional degree.  However, my husband has recently noticed that my short term memory and confusion has gotten a lot worse  and I am curious as to if the effects of my Brain Injury worsen with time.  I thought that in time, my brain would learn new ways to get around the damaged part of my brain and get better at remembering things and doing things, although recently it just seems to be getting a lot worse.  Does anyone know the answer to this question?  Does anyone have any advice in increasing my short term memory after 11 years of a brain injury?  Thank you!!
