headaches

[samanthaash1993]

hello. I do not have a brain injury, however am epileptic. At the moment, I have a very bad headache. Other than that, I'm looking to volunteer for headway Preston. I want to be a neuropsychologist, specializing in neurorehabilitation. I am totally blind as well. Currently, I am studying at UClan, in my first year of a degree in neuropsychology.

Hello, and welcome, volunteers are a real help, for some reason thus far all of them have been young women, and either training to be or just qualified as speech and Language. Or Paralegals!

I think most seem to enjoy it, the local Headway’s all run somewhat differently so it’s worth seeing how different services run.

I have just finished cognitive assessment program at the Wolfson in Queens Mary Hospital so have seen a lot of Neropyschologists over the last month!

Good luck reaching your goals Samantha, and well done for facing up to the challenges of study, and considering voluntary work despite your issues.

Best wishes m'dear............ and hope the headache will ease off soon.
