Brain fog or Mild Brain Injury

Have veterans with Brain fog or Mild Brain Injury fallen thru the cracks?

Within the first year of deployment will look into
or evaluate vets this complain. If found having post concussion
syndrome send patient for re-training to improve quality of life
activities. Now that over a decade has passed and followup care
should be given many VA primary care doctors will not give troops
the brain injury training they need. All too often practioniers
will tell vets you are over 50 yrs old -- you're just have a
"Senior Moment". Only Support for MBI issues today have come
from State "brain injury associations" not DoD- Health or VA.

Although severe brain injuries are generally easy to diagnose, milder versions ? most commonly called concussions ? often go unnoticed because symptoms are more subtle or slow to develop.

But even concussions can have long-lasting, damaging effects. Symptoms can be physical, such as dizziness or headaches, or cognitive, like memory loss. Other problems can be behavioral and emotional, creating a diagnostic gray area between brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.

According to Pentagon estimates, up to 20 percent of combat-exposed troops have suffered at least one concussion.
