Dont know if there was a war with an enclosed vehicle riding over a bomb and jerking the guys’ heads back and forth brutally in these numbers.
It’s the ONLY tactic that was pretty much used against them and also a lot of these head injured would have died even 20 years ago.
You may be right. But mine was from falling down flight of cement stairs in manhattan and the seem to have the same symptoms. Chronic headaches, tinnitus, insomnia, night terrors...
BTW, the sleep wake cycle is so much more complicated than I thought!!! If I wake up without alarm I wake up HORRIBLY, body shaking and terrifying vivid dreams, takes 15 minutes to completely stop shaking.
If I wake up to alarm, I wake up fine!!
Something going wrong at the point of waking, docs tell me. Great lol. How about fixing it?
There should be a definite difference in severity to those with open bullet/shrapnel wounds entering the skull or cracking your head open on cement steps like you did compared to having your bell rung as you describe getting the head jerked back and forth. Maybe they have differing trauma levels but call it all the same (TBI) and the numbers like 300,000 would be more understandable. Just the numbers seem skewed, in the ten year Vietnam war there were 303,000 wounded from all sources.
