CTE car crash then violent marriage for 8 years. CTE started symptoms ten years after I left the abuser.. hitting on all sides ... I am 62 with failing short term memory and cognitive issues plus Parkinson's... Also ideations. 😊

Def can relate the being the one he loves the most AND the one he hates the most. I can’t imagine a more terrible brain condition than this.

I really really hope Brett isn't suffering from depression or anything, I love him!

Yeh I had to stop playing in the early 2010s because I was blacking out on the football field and started having seizures. Now I am wondering if I have it since I do become forgetful and slur words on a rare occasion.

Thank you.

My son .age 5 to 25 motorcross

Watching the recording from New Zealand

My wife put in for caregiver for me. I was hit by an IED. Suffered with a TBI and have 70 percent ptsd. We were denied the program. Seems like no 1 is approved for this program

Dr Cantu is just a super guy who has dedicated his life to helping people recover as much as possible to continue with life

I would love to tell my story.

I work at a clinic that treats brain injury. I hope at some point you'll expand to multi-causal, i.e. contact sports, childhood abuse, car accidents, workplace injuries, assaults, IPV, hitting the head on cupboard doors (hard enough to create a goose egg), etc. My most severe patients have a combination.

I wonder if those who have CTE with non-reported RHI are victims of severe childhood abuse or IPV that wasn't reported to the clinic...

No people will come here twice.. Because they all have recoverd and you too will @cuncussion_pcs

Why does the video freeze with the audio cutting out?

Jesus .. this is depressing .. 3 weeks in and I’m hoping to god this doesn’t last …

I recovered in 2 monts

What do you do if after being diagnosed with PCS, and you still have those symptoms and they have worsened even with cognitive therapy and exercise (which did help me get my BA), but you then develop dementia symptoms 10 years later from the last concussion and you're almost 40? My concern is that it's from my lengthy history of concussions (sports and military) and it's CTE, which can only be diagnosed post mortem. I have read recently DTI along with a biomarker, similar to those used to diagnose Alzheimer's, it might be the how it's diagnosed in living patients. So what questions do I ask my doctors, what tests can be done that might help diagnose the dementia related to CTE if it can't be diagnosed? We have just received the Tesla-MRI for DTI imaging here in 2023 through my university, but access is limited typically to professional sports players.

Join Boston University CTE Center researchers and the Concussion Legacy Foundation to learn about BANK CTE, a ground-breaking research study that aims to identify plasma biomarkers unique to CTE.

It is very sad cte is far diversion .it is beyond contact sport and militry services also ....unfortunety can't be treated even dig osed a 100 years old dieses.it is black mark of science

Cte is not only sport or militry veteran my son is suffering from it .he was diagnosed 4-5 concussion during their training period he was once ishchemic stroke also .....he is only 26 now and dealing day to day task discomfortbilty ... So cte is a global issue to someone who sustain head trauma

WA state, still riding/training Jumping horses for over 38yrs and 11yrs in gymnastics (which was the sport where I had my first concussion) from age 2-12.

It’s been 16 years since my last concussion, having had 9 as well before hitting 18. Been through the wringer of psychs, anti depressants, anti anxiety, migraine meds, etc. Now when I close my eyes the room starts spinning so I’m falling into the insomnia train now. I will never ever let anyone in my family play contact sports no matter how much they want it.

I not played any contact sport....i have 5 undigsones concussion .....im living with cte sympttoms ......cte is not only for contact sport it has far more diversion plese find the cure .....at lest halt the progression im very frustrating and dieing day by day ....i surely suffer from this debilitating dieses ...my memory gets worsed evewwryday.im only 26 and only one offspring of my parents

Can I donate my brain? And how do I do it? I believe I have cte. I played football from 3rd grade up to my senior year in high school. I played running back and was the work horse of all my teams because we weren’t very good and it was pretty much just hand me the ball on every play. I was a physical runner and defensive player. I never was officially diagnosed with a concussion, but I know I’ve had some. There were times I literally saw double vision running back to the huddle. After high school around 19 or 20 I became very depressed, withdrawn, and hopeless. I also can have a short fuse which I fight to keep under control. I haven’t been able to hold a steady job do to those things and if my father wasn’t letting me live with him I might not be here right now. I also suffer from headaches a lot. I’ve heard they have found cte in some soccer players and I can promise you, I know I’ve taken more head shots than anyone playing soccer that’s what scares me. I’m 40 now and I haven’t felt like myself for the past 20 years. It seems to be getting worse. If I do have cte I’d like my family to know because I think that’s important. Thank you!

I live with CTE. I grew up in DV and lived in it as an adult until age 28/29. I had brqin surgery as a child who has neurofibromitosis and the surgery ended up as surgical TBI and I'm now 45 and and have medical professionals are also either uneducated or choose to rhink I have an addiction to medication that helps me stay calm and ia alao a neurotransmitter. I am in northern Florida and need help ASAP. I want to see my son graduate in a few years, I want to know my furure grandchildren before I eventually pass from a medical condition that is secondary or a form of dementia that is stealing my identity because I don't know who I am as a person any longer either due to CTE or something I cannot put into words. What specific type of neurologist treats CTE?

This was an exceptional Webinar, as are all that are offered by the Concussion Legacy Foundation (CLF). I cannot register fast enough when a Webinar is offered. I feel rather intimidated when speaking to my medical supports about suspected CTE. I appreciated Dr. Nowinski’s acknowledgement that we have to educate our physicians about the disease. That way, our medical supports better understand the root of the anxiety, depression, impulse control issues, executive disfunction, etc., that the prescribed medications are trying to control. Mick

I'm 40, former pro MMA fighter of 10 years. Former wrestler, football player, kickboxer, karate. Have been pledged to CLF and registered to donate since 2017. Don't have time to finish video right now, but will come back to it. Hearing things like this always gives me a brief glimpse of hope.

Salute Bro I’ve been following you since WWE and Everything else, I talk about your story I played Football in high school and college, I am from Austin TX

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALLY AID WOMAN WHO PUSH THROUGH CTE FROM MARITIAL ABUSE, WHO ARE ALONE & WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT NETWORK⁉️🤕😢

I'm 45 and had brain surgery at age 10 that caused TBI and now live with CTE. My neurologist has no idea how to treat me. I have neurofibromitosis type 2, which is the cause of the tumors. I also lived a long time from childhood into almost age 30 in abuse. Can you help me? University of Florida neurologist for patients with NF and CTE are zero help for adults.

Very good intiative find. Cure as soon as possible .....please I'm suffering from this debilitating dieses

Please find the cure of the taupathy dieses....he is suffering cte symptoms ..... Please God halt the taupathy of dieses... Cler it it is not bearable My memory gets lost

Thugs: yeah, no. 10yo can catch these hands too

G

You are so brave & strong Not just mothers but women in general. Doctors & Family DO NOT CARE! I HAVE NO SUPPORT SYSTEM! NOBODY TO HELP ME! I'M NOT DEPRESSED, I NEED PHYSICAL HELP IN MY HOME.

I'm living with it ....I'm Indian plese help me .

Plese god plese plese plesw find the cure of the dieses

I'm Indian and living with cte ...many Indian are suffering from this after road accident to multiple concussion.....this is not only contact sport matter it is matter of how much ur head was impacted .....I'm suffering from this

People only grab the fund and no one research on it thoroughly very unfortunate that there is no known cure of 100 years old dieses....think the people like me who is suffering from this dieses .........

Finally after how many years cte can be dignose after death and if it is regular the what is that diagnosis after someone passed away

What a fuck no one discover right now the treatment it is 1928 to 2024 almost 94 years ....very unfortunate .

Plese find the cure of cte

मैं भारतीय हूं और सीटीई के साथ जी रहा हूं। यह मेरे लिए बहुत कमजोर करने वाली बात है, कोई भी मेरी परवाह नहीं करता। मेरी याददाश्त खराब हो जाती है....माफ करना, मैं इसके साथ नहीं रह सकता...हर कोई बस शोध, शोध, शोध कर रहा है ए

In reference to a human brain. Water hitting rock is a terrible analogy. If anything it should be the other way around.

His speech is so fucking clear and precise and charismatic for stage 4 CTE. I'm baffled, how is it possible?

Does the CLF have a way of sending this information to schools & sports associations so that they can fully inform parents about these devastating injuries caused by repetitive hits? Too many have no idea about how it not only affect the physical health of their young athletes but the “mental health” also.

14 is not a safe age for these young athletes to start playing tackle football. Their brains do not fully develop until the mid to late 20’s. Think about it…is a 14 year old in a car wreck less likely to suffer brain injury? These injuries are traumatic and devastating for their “mental” & physical health. Please be honest with parents.

I was struck by lightning and I was thrown back hard against cement/door frame that was blown open behind me

Theracurmin, a highly bioavailable form of Curcumin, has been shown (both in vitro and in healthy adult humans) to not only inhibit the aggregation of tau in the brain, but to also dismantle preformed tau filaments. At least theoretically, this could be a potential treatment modality. Given that curcumin itself has demonstrated neuroprotective and cognition enhancing properties, it's not a stretch at all to think that it might have the capacity to stave off the progression of CTE

Is there anyway I can get tested or join a study to help this?
