Ginger here, SPF 100 didn't work too hot at myrtle Beach, excluding water contact. Family laughed. They stopped laughing when one got melanoma.

What is your opinion on the use of DNA through these ancestry/DNA websites to catch unknown fugitives, such as the recent success of capturing the EAR/ONS and the ongoing process for the zodiac killer? https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2018-04-26/accused-serial-rapist-and-killer-undetected-working-as-cop http://amp.sacbee.com/latest-news/article210320689.html

Im 27 and had a accident when i was 23 resulting in being knocked out for awhile. This was one of several (probably like 7 to 12) concussions i had in a 10 year time frame, unfortunately which i never bothered to get checked out. They always seemed particularly mild. The last one i got i was still hungover from the night prior. The xray and CT were fine though.

Maybe 6 months later my depression, while chronic, went from mild to severe and i developed full fledged anxiety and panic attacks. After another 2 years or maybe sooner because i didn't know the symptoms, i was plagued with migraines and even cluster headaches.

Ive been to the "migraine center" at my local world renown clinic the last 2 years, and have had meetings with a speech therapist. All the tests ive been given never have bad results, maybe one or two slightly below average. They just attribute it to the migraines... Doesn't seem to justify the difficulty i have with forgetfulness, reading, speaking (developed occasional stuttering and like dyslexic speech). Light and sound can be literal torture. I desperately want a follow up scan. Five years later and they finally say PCS and intractable migraines, despite complaints to psychiatrist and GP the entire time. I bet i have CTE from the progression of symptoms. I suppose that'll only be found out after i die though.

Did you notice severe emotional changes with your TBI, seeing as it's objectively worse than mine? Did you get second opinions right away or was it just take time for a doctor to give in to the idea? Sorry to hear you have to deal with the lack of understanding as well. If you go or plan on going to college be sure to take this to the disability office for testing assistance; i finally did and this semester should be the first without problems testing.
