Medication to treat the peripheral nerve damage due to the bulging disc that may have effected the cervical spinal nerves seem to be a big help. Her neck turns easier and mouth can open much wider so less problems with eating. She has less complaints of headaches or they are less intense and she is able to describe them better. Her hearing seems to be less sensitive to laughing, clapping and crying. She still has a disbelieving look on her face that she does not seem effected by these events.
The neuropsychologist did mention a learning disability that is difficulty in making decisions. Chloe's major outburst come from having to make a decision or having to change a decision. He suggested we need to continue to practice decision making and work on slowing her speech down and using a softer voice.
This is our behavioral approach, she needs to calm herself down in a quiet room for 60 minutes then she needs to earn back her computer by typing how a 21 year old should act which is not grinding her teeth,
yelling,crying and threatening to throw up.
The whole purpose is to get her back in better control of her emotions so she can improve in making adult decisions.
