I thought you had a military related TBI and might be interested in the Gulf War connection.

I am sorry to hear of your TBI symptoms and that they are like ME/CFS.

I had a concussion when I was a child and blacked out when I was hit in the face with a big rubber kick-ball that was kicked directly into my face from the ground when I was looking down at it!

I don’t know if it gave me a TBI with long-lasting effects. I didn’t get ME/CFS until age 50.

sorry for the grouchy response.

those 300k soldiers with TBI get a lot of the same CFS symptoms too. I talk with them on the boards and am a big supporter.

Perhaps what happens in the gut affects the brain OR the fact that the gut has been called the largest Nervous System after the brain would explain why the effects are similar.

Please tell me you’re a guy and I didn’t get grouchy with a lady, at least. I’ll hate myself the rest of the day.

It SUCKS, doesn’t it?! Sorry you have it.

Every symptom I have i find on CFS list. Rheumo told me i have it. I can’t believe that as they ALL started after TBI. I dont know what to think lol
