Treatments for brain injuries

I don't know whether or not I'd be a candidate for the medication used to treat Parkinson's which is also being used to treat some forms of brain injuries....I've taken a break from taking anything for my pain issues. The full article can be found here: goo.gl/zkSs5k

After my injuries, I found it a challenge to interact with people...There's a lot of calculating our brains are doing, synchronized with muscles and nerves....Like navigating how to sit in a chair with or without wheels....there's a big difference....as I learned during a physical therapy session one day in 2014....

Upon leaving rehab in March 2014, I struggled to interact with more than one person at a time and in a group setting it was even more overwhelming. After time though, it got a lot easier. Now I would say I'm back to where I was on a cognitive level before my brain injuries....so there is a lot to celebrate....
