The Mountain.
Hi All. There once was a man in a terrible state of anxiety and fear. They said to him "You have to climb that mountain because, at the top, there is a hut with a wonderful book in it that tells you how to solve your problems". The man got everything together for his trip up the mountain. He spent

Understanding.
Hi All. Dr. Weekes regarded UNDERSTANDING as one of the most important parts of her teaching. What does it mean "to understand?" One of the dictionary definitions is "To know and appreciate what is happening or why it is happening". I have always found that an explanation of something, which may appear

Do you, or someone you know, experience problems with chewing or swallowing (dysphagia)? If so, can you help us with our new factsheet?
We are developing a new factsheet to help people deal with dysphagia - a common condition after brain injury. It explains what dysphagia is, how normal swallowing works, the signs and symptoms of dysphagia, diagnostic techniques, treatment options and some strategies to overcome the difficulties.

Wrap up warm and take care.
For many years I have studied meteorology so it is with great interest I have been watching a combination of circumstances that could mean the coldest snowiest winter for many years for us here in the UK. I have been saying in my weather circle that I expect winter to arrive much earlier than usual.

Musings of a survivor
Well, I just signed up tonight and I already have a lot to think about from reading blog posts so far. I first heard about Headway about nine years ago, and that was 11 or 12 years after I sustained my TBI in a road accident. Up until then I hadn't really understood the implications of having a head

Not long now ...
Well, not the best week, from what I can see. Currently got a weird pain in my face - well, it's either my ear or my face, and I'm not quite sure which! It's in and around the ear I wear a hearing aid in, which makes me think it could be that, but I've worn the aid for over 6 months, and it's only

One Year On from the ICU
Its been one year since I started my recovery from an attack of Weil's Disease which very nearly killed me, and put me in ICU for 5 weeks. It has been a much longer process than I thought and planned, and my determination to get back to work and put things back to normal has been thwarted by occasional
