My 18 year old son was in a car accident 4 months ago. He was in a coma for 4 weeks and was in inpatient rehabilitation for another 7 weeks. This was at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital and the J. Paul Sticht Center in Winston Salem, NC. His biggest issues as of today are hearing loss, trunk ataxia, gait and left shoulder/arm tremors. We had ENT test all they can for hearing and they say his hearing works normal. My son describes what he hears as muffled. If he can read your lips he usually can understand what is being said but other than that he can hear one word at a time. We finally got to see his neurologist yesterday and told him that his nose also has been running for months. We now have him scheduled for an MRI to check for cerebral spinal fluid leaking. If he does have leaking, how many of his issues could be effected by this? I also wonder about side effects from his medicines causing any problems. He is currently taking Caridopa-Levodopa 25-100 mg (2 per day); Aricept 5 mg, Namenda 2 – 5 mg (2 per day) and Propanoll 20 mg (2 per day) and we have no idea if any of this is doing him any good. Any comments or insight to this situation will be appreciated.
