> they sometimes notice very squirrely readings on SPECT (mass regional hypoperfusion) in cases of head injury, and apparently sometimes people end up being diagnosed with personality *disorders* afterward... (forget where i read that, though) i hope that wouldn't be permanent. but there is some suggestion that it can be. :(
The hypoperfusion may have taken place in
the first week and I would consider a change
in brain state/personality refreshing, esp.
as I seem to have less anxiety now.Alas, the Emergency chief said it was
"nothing" --as an injury-- after doing neuro
tests and, on the 5th week, I seem to be
returning to steady state. I wonder how
my husband likes me better, lol -- actually
the difference is now, so subtle that he
does not consider it much different than
my usual smart-*ss persona.I'll let you know if there is a dramatic
metamorphosis; i'm hoping at least the
reduction in appetite and anxiety last over the
holidays :-)Squiggles
