Truck Roll Injury
Dave Boran sent me this question based on a recent post.
I spent 23 years in the Canadian Forces. I have had this problem for over 20 years with no diagnoses. For they past 6 months I have been going to the gym, trying to get back into shape. I am 51 years old. I had 2 episodes at the gym. I will start to sweat, I'll get dizzy and I can't function or try and speak it will take me at least 15 minutes before I can get off the ground. Last week I wanted to try and run a mile and when I got to the highway it happened again. I almost got hit by a car. I should mention in
1986 i was involved in a motor vehicle accident and I rolled my truck. My truck was a refuelling truck. I was carring gas on the pod. Can you help.
Dave
Dave,
It sounds like you definitely have problems. I am not sure if you are in Canada or the U.S. but I would try contacting the Brain Injury Association of America at www.biaa.org and see if they can point you to some resources.
As to any legal case, and again I am not sure where your truck accident occurred, it seems that all statutes of limitation are long expired based on it happening 23 years ago. I hope you received compensation back then as deserved.
Good luck Dave.

We see patients with post-traumatic dizziness with exertion. Part of the brain interprets balance - it is called the vestibular system and it commonly is injured with TBI. When stressed it can malfunction and cause dizziness symptoms. We treat these symptoms using a technique called Vestibular Retraining Therapy.
