I know how to treat TBI etc., and you don't. If you want to know, just ask. I dare you.

This was a lot of hot air .. gibberish

Thank you 🙏

I think a lot of doctors are too busy with paperwork and too many patients. They are human so they don’t have time to learn and keep up with the new medicine or don’t take the time to research and help their patients. Plus in certain areas there are not many specialist that deal with TBI ! It needs to change because if you don’t catch TBI within the first year and receive the treatment then you are who you will be.

I agree !

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE WOMAN! ❤

I have a social worker starting to come and see me at home after being discharged from Brain Injury rehab. I have no idea what I am meant to do and say and talk about. I dont know why they are coming....I have not asked for this.

My wife and family lived through the aftermath of my injuries in glorious living Technicolor. I've said all along that they were the heroes, not me because I was "absent" and I don't remember very much from the first six months. The new me is now 9 years old and very lucky to still have my wife, children and friends with me on this journey. Your husband is a lucky man too and I wish everything for you that you wish for yourselves. Love from another family who understand all your struggles, grief, successes and failures and the benefits of being positive and remaining stubbornly focused on just not giving in. It does get better. ❤

I can relate to a lot of this...

Just exactly what our family needs! Thank you for this amazing app and channel. ❤

We are dealing this with my Mom’s boyfriend right now. He does have cancer but two hospitals have turned him away calling his problem“psychiatric”. He’s not doing it for drugs but to manipulate my Mom and others around him. He’s done it his whole life. His wife, MIL, mother and other family members have done the same over the years. What do we do??

##AVMRUPTURE2BRAINSURGERIESSURVIVOR I'm still taking care of everyone no one cared or cares for me 😢 #PTSDSURVIVOR

Hi Dan Im'ma from (MIT) university freshmen. I've encountered a recent incident that has left me in need some advice . I wanted to share that I recently experienced a concussion 3 days ago, and unfortunately, it has occurred again in the same right side. I'm wondering, would a sudden sideways motorbike collision with a cycle at a speed of 30 km/hr., causing a forceful movement of my torso to lurch and my head in relative (lateral flexion) in the same area of the first concussion ,can it potentially cause damage to the previously concussed neurons ? very worried since i am difficulty speaking like finding right words and articulating fluently and even slight difficulty understanding words and its been 1 month no recovery? i initially have no symptoms after the incidence like nausea or dizziness , does it cause any permanent deficits or it is just temporary ? and Does this injury lead to the diminution of a handful of neurons?

So glad to see that you’ve pushed yourself so hard in your recovery efforts. You’re amazing, God bless you!!! ❤

Any supportive feedback is greatly appreciated. I am the survivor of an 8 day COMA in 1983. Both my occupational and physical therapists were highly interactive and supportive, during my early recovery days. Ty ❤

A lot like me) but I'm 8 1/2 years in( and have no money anymore( was surprised to hear your description matching mine. I was unconscious 6 months with brain bleeds. Good doctors are humble AND GREAT. Most are **** (BLEEP)

I am recovering from a concussion and I was really touched by Lisa's story. Thank you

From comments that I've read on this, it causes problems with memory

Is this in the US or UK?

This is very encouraging. My husband just had a severe brain injury and he’s still not awake, the doctors expect him to recover but what that means I don’t know. I’m scared and grieving but we have a deep faith. Great advice from this video.

Thank you. Very helpful

Talk to us as you would anyone without one we are still normal what ever normal is we are still same person

Recovering from brain surgery. People tell me I look so good, they don’t understand, it’s exhausting trying to explain. I’ve been avoiding a lot of people. And thank you for this very helpful information. Let’s hope people listen.

I had a severe one

After falling on ice I hit my head. I told my wife something is wrong. Oh she eventually left me, took everything and the kids. What a piece of shit huh?

My husband fell and hit his head, he wasn’t diagnosed with anything. But the man had never been angry at me or yell at me before the accident. Only after. But he didn’t seem to have any of these other issues. Could it only effect his anger?

😅great video I can relate to it 7yrs post stroke

Stay strong stay positive stay safe everyone takecare sending luck love from headway Nottingham UK you got this keep going doing amazing things x

Does her hunsband get better in the mental problems ? Anxiety Depression ?

I lost everything after my TBI. My wife, my business and myself. Just craziest crap ever.. today I take it day by day and focus on the good things I still can do with normalcy.

Incredible. I can’t see insurance ever paying for it tho

I always look at this video which gives me hope for recovery, its been 6 months now, and always turn to this for support thankyou so much for sharing your story

How can I get the information for this life coach??

Her story is pretty much same as mine.but my husband put everything on me except driving .plus he isolated me and my children.we can’t go and meet any family or friend and nobody can come to our house because of his behavior.and he will never go to a psychiatrist.

I've been there... Fuck, there's no one listen me...

Some friends'

Part 1. Once I got rearended at 45. My head hit the driver side window and frame. Everything went white. Not shortly after I felt like my eyes were being pulled out of my head and my brain was being sucked down into my spine. My ears were muffled, I was very nauseous. When my vision returned it was dark and everything seemed to have a hazy halo around it. I kept working QC at a medical device factory. I was miserable for two weeks after my doctor told me I HAD to take two weeks off work immediately. He put me on drugs to stop the swelling. My gait was like I was drunk and I would forget everything I was told. I wouldn’t remember anything. This went on for 4 months I had a hard time writing, concentrating, reading. I went to a TBI specialist in Cleveland and she took me out of work for 12 weeks to start rehab. During that time I was doing speech, occupational, and physical therapy full time. At night I would challenge myself with reading books on neurology. I didn’t stop till I started my IONM internship. What was the worst was how I was treated. My parents were the worst. They’d fight with me, they’d “get tried of me using the same old excuses” they couldn’t understand what was “wrong with me”. Couldn’t understand why I kept lashing out. Couldn’t understand “ what stupid games I was playing in rehab” as the found some of the games my therapists and I played. At work they were constantly harassing me about my deficits. Its a cold world for people with TBI’s I fully credit my neuro team with earning my cnim and saving my self worth. I’d be on disability without them

Part 2 Once I got the true care I needed. What helped me immensely was talking to me like an adult but speaking slower. Slower speech and shorter sentences that didn’t confuse or discourage me. I worked with one of the best TBI recovery centers in the midwest. I went from not understanding how to get from my room to the bathroom in a house I lived in for 36 years. I went from having panic attacks in my car because I would suddenly forget how to drive or where I was going. To becoming a board certified neurophysiologist in two years.

Treat as adult but keep it clear and simple as you would to a child.

What other statements have you found helpful?

Thank you ! Daniel, for sharing your story. Your truly inspirational I'm so glad your doing so well it's a miracle ! My heart goes out to you ! Xo

He is a lucky one.

I had a tbi and there was ZERO HELP…very hard to find a neurologist that will help a concussed car accident victim…OR if a neurologist does see you, they mess with your head and tell you nothing is wrong even though you clearly have neurofatigue, memory issues, and balance problems…I am alone in this world both my parents have passed and this TBI has been the absolute worst experience…I’m also a nurse. When I went to the ER, that doctor was a (we’ll call him a jerk but i could definitely think of stronger words) he didn’t believe anything was wrong with me. I was stopped at a red light and a car at a high rate of speed smashed into me. I took all the impact for 3 cars ahead of me. Im so angry when I think of how I was treated and I’m a nurse-/I’m 4 years out, still have memory issues, processing information, reading comprehension…I finally found 2 doctors that are helpful but everyone else was horrible and/or got mad at me --there is no help!

Would love to see an update on Daniel's progress 😊

I hope they're doing well today 🙏 such a great interviewer too!

Best of your videos I think (TBI not withstanding). This man is saying what we need- and that THESE supports are not available. Yet. This is real truth. All the other videos about getting help can be useless words. Maybe there are places, like pockets around the country, where help exists. Not rural central FL. No treatment. No rehab. I have wondered if i am lucky to not be injured more severly. I function. But omg. Tbi sucks.

I had moderate TBI 10 years ago. Next year, I'm getting my license as a physician.
