Which Came First, Ptsd Or The Tbi I Need Help With Proof...

[Alison Silveria]

Here is my quandry. I got my PTSD from childhood like everybody else. I also was pysically (1) and sexually assaulted (3) times (2 of the times) by recruiters and once when I was in the military. My PTSD was under control until after my head injury though. 26 years later I had my TBI.

Then, after my TBI (moderate), I had many unwanted dreams and memories of the military PTSD events. The VA says my TBI caused the PTSD. One doctor say that and they did my CnP...compensation and pension exam. Another Dr. with the VA that did my Nureosych evaluation said I need a new C n P. I am on apeal, second one.

I am looking for some kind of written materials that say TBI will aggrevate existing PTSD.

Welcome to the forum Alison. So sorry for what happened to you. Maybe you can get some advice on the sister section : [DLMURL]http://combat.ptsdforum.org/[/DLMURL] Ask your question again, I'm sure the members in that section will be more helpful than us here. There is also a special section here for those who were sexually assaulted : [DLMURL]http://sexabuse.ptsdforum.org[/DLMURL]
