Hello ! How are you today? Good i hope.
I am a 32 yrs old female and on 2-4-13 was in an auto accident where my childrens father was a fatality. I was care flighted in a level 6 coma to local trama center. I had TBI to the frony of my brain (frontilobe..lol..not sure how to spell it sorry). I also had some reconstrucrive surgery done as well and was also diagnosed with PTS. First few months i lost almost 100 pounds partially do to my mouth being wired. Weight stayed off for 2 yrs.I havent been back to a doctor since the hospital.
As time has gone along weight has started to come back on kind of rapidly but most i believe is Water weight because i retain alot of water and stay slightly swollen. I have period chest discomfort more so now than Before.
I know i have developed depression and seem to stay that way. I know that can cause you to lose energy or have little to my no will power, but i feel its something so much more than just depression. I stay so weak and out of energy. It takes everything within me to get the enwrgy enough to even stand up and walk room to room in my house and i hate to leave house becauae it exhausts me. I get the sick feeling in my stomach day to day but never actually vomit. When i feel sick i start to feel chest discomforts. Even though i stay exhausted and with no energy i barely ever sleep. Since coming out of the coma i have always had sleeping problems. I feel like my body truly is giving up on me more and more as the days go by. In my heart i feel as if maybe my body is shutting down as if lifevis slipping away and that my body is giving up on me literally. Sounds dramatic maybe but thats the best way to describe how i feel all the time now. I cant afford a doctors and i have no money or health insurance. If you have any ideas of what may be wong..please enlighten me. I am aware that this is just your opinion or knowledge and not a diagnosis. So any suggestions or thoughts as to why i may be feeling so lifeless as time progresses ?
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely ,
Jennifer H.
