Side Effects of PTSD

I have noticed over the past few months, my spelling, my math and comprehension skills have slipped massively.  My attention span is minimal and I often fade in and out at work forgetting what I am doing.  I thought it might be the meds but then I looked at medical reports dating back to my accident at FT Riley in 1998.

I suffered 3 massive blows to the head from a loaders hatch from an m1a1.  I suffered an mTBI before they were fashionable.  Still with all the knowledge today, the VA refuses to call my injury an mTBI, just a traumatic concussion because it was not caused in a “combat zone”. Wow……

But anyway, the report showed a decrease in cognitive skills.  In 2003, there was improvement and another set of testing during my VA appeal in 2006 showed improvement but errors which could hamper employment in current field of illustration.  I worked around and overcame these difficulties.

Now though I have issues writing simple BLOG post effectively without help from my wife and my work is affected.  For instance, I wrote a comment today on suicide prevention in the army.  I read over it multiple times to ensure I did not sound like an idiot because of who might read it.  In the end, I sounded like a fool, errors littered the comment.  How can I explain my issues, sound like a rational person and fight for a better understanding of this issue and for my own personal health if I cannot focus in a clear manner?
