Anything I show know

Hi there, here's my story:

When I was seven years old a car hit me. From this I suffered extreme brain trauma, and had to go through several years of rehabilitation to get myself back together. I stopped taking meds at about the age of 11-12. I should consider myself lucky because for the longest time I haven't experienced any seizures, or displayed any symptoms of mental illness. I am 18 now.

I am wondering if there are any people in the same boat as me, because my question is this: is there anything I should be looking out for in the future?

u may want to have ur brain, neck and spine MRI'd from time to time to be sure u have no other lasting effects.....there r conditions brought on by just such a trauma....having the MRI's should be the best look out to catch anything abnormal.

From the sounds of it....u r doing great! Congratulations for surviving such a traumatic ordeal.

Good luck
Godspeed
