I've been running around for 3 years trying to get doctors & other medical staff to realize that I have brain damage & need help for it not to be chastised or locked away or ignored. 3 years ago while in the military I found out I had a brain tumor (pituitary adenoma OR hypothalamic hamartoma?? no one has ever decided) and every day since the day I got to the point where I can think (sort of think) I've been looking for cognitive & memory help and people who are supposed to be medical professionals have like no idea what the heck they're doing! Maybe its because I've been dealing with the VA & the Navy/Army doctors but youd be shocked if you knew how quick they wanted to discard me as a nutjob or whatever. Then they wanted to say I was malingering... then people hear brain tumor or damage so they immediately jump to send me on the crazy train...Its impossible to find anyone who can look at my problems, realize I'm not faking to get out of the military (already out now) or to get money or sympathy or whatever and just give me some darn help if there is any for this! So I just wanted to let you know that it happens on a really damaging level. Thanks, Yaelle Glenn You dont know how much I appreciate this article.
