Hello everyone,
I started having some cognitive issues after a MC. Crash in 07, I
saw a neurologist who wrote suspect CTE or frontal temporal
dementia. I only know this because when I was able to get into the
VA system I read my records. When I saw the VA doc he found the
Babinski. Since then I’ve had an MRI of the brain and spinal cord.
Traumatic brain injury as well as trauma or lesions to the brain an
cord were ruled out. He has since signed off and referred me to a
skeletal muscle doctor. I have my EMG the 2nd of July. I do have
some wasting of muscle on my right upper side but no weakness to
speak of. I have started becoming short of breath with minimal
exertion as well as some aspiration issues. I’m a RN and have been
for almost 30 years and there is part of me that’s praying but I know.
