Any advice on Aphasia
Hello again,I'm wondering if anyone can give me any advice. My husband had a severe tbi in August after falling off his bike and now in rehab .They have told me he has Aphasia, I'd never heard of it until now . The left side of his brain was badly damaged. He seems able to understand mostly what I say

Fibro & Severe Stiffness.
Hello all. So it's been a while since I posted last. Many of you were so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on many questions about fibro. I had never realised or put the two together when it came down to severe stiffness that some people experienced this as a symptom of fibro. Can anybody explain

Photobiomodulation
Hi all, just heard about this treatment using infra red light. Someone told me it is being used to help Parkinson's and Alzheimer's sufferers, but when I checked one of the websites out it said it was suitable for TBIs too . So I was just wondering if anyone had tried it?

Alzheimer's, APOE4 gene and HRT - testing for the APOE4 gene
In the news today (14 January 2023) they talk about the possible reduction in Alzheimer's from taking HRT. I cannot take HRT (and have no desire to) due to my ovarian (sub-type endometrioid) cancer and endometrial cancer both being oestrogen receptor positive. However, what I found interesting to read

Moving on from a Tracheostomy
Sorry - another question from me. As it was a slightly different topic, I thought I'd start a new thread. My dad has had a trachy now for just over two weeks, following two weeks fully sedated on a ventilator due to pneumonia. He is much improved and breathing unaided for 36 hours so far. He is also

Struggling to regulate emotions
Hi all,I am aware that after a frontal lobe TBI emotions get confused but is this usual 4 years down the road?? After a TBI in early 2018 my Husband displayed something of a personality change and having read a lot about his incident we understood what to kind of expect. He would manically laugh or suddenly

I just thought I would drop in and say hi, and good to see some familiar names still around. For six months when I was here previously I tried my best to assist and support others and their queries as a survivor and have continued to do so elsewhere but to a more limited extent. Covid being less

Early Christmas Gift 🎁
I had a real blessing last night!I dreamed about my late grandmother (who was British and helped to raise me). As I saw her, we walked toward each other and she had a big precious smile on her face! Before I reached her, I knew it was a dream, but I woke up with such JOY 🎄🎄🎄 She loved the holidays

colonoscopy fear.
Can anyone tell me why you can’t have a general anaesthetic to have a colonoscopy? I have asked the Doctor this and he said well you can be sedated.But this is not what I want. He said they need you slightly awake to listen to their instructions to move your leg etc. I think this is rubbish.America

Coping with a Vestibular Disorder

How long till the dripping tap causes the bucket to overflow?
I’ve been going pretty well on my three weekly TCZ injections and have managed to get down to 0.5mgs pred after a couple of hiccups … it’s taken over 2 years to get here. I remained on 0.75mgs for 3 weeks, timed with TCZ dose, but now I’m really nervous about the next drop. I feel fine, should I drop
