is it common to be conscious at time you get head injury?
I was in a car accident in 2012 leading to me having serious head injury. I have never been able to remember the accident so I guessed I was unconscious through it. I remember driving along the motorway which is where the accident happened so I guessed I remembered most of the time I was conscious.

3 years later
I know it's 3 years later but I wanted to write this in case someone needed to see. This thread helped me so much when my dad was in the ICU on a ventilator. When they took my dad off of sedation he didn't wake up right away. He is a peritoneal dialysis patient and drugs leave his system much slower.

Stopping work
Hi I posted on here a few days ago after bilateral subdural hematoma and burr hole surgery in Feb 2022. I had tried to go back to work in retail and was doing OK I thought. Part time but I have realised I can't do it. No advice or any information when I left hospital. Tried to claim PIP but unsuccessful

Final stages of CBD
Hi all My dad is in the final stages of CBD and in fact the Palliative Care Consultant seems to think we have less than 3 months left with him. I am really really struggling with this and can't bear the thought of not having my dad but this illness is the cruellest illness I have ever encountered.

Continuing Healthcare Farce
We have just been declined for CHC funding for my dad who has advanced stage CBD. Apparently he does not meet the health criteria!! He is on lots of medication which my mum administers. He is at home with carers coming in 4 times a day to do all the personal care and has a visit from the District Nurses

Speech and Language team in the UK
Just an update on my wife (Jackie, diagnosed since 29th Jan 23) and her PSP path, she had a visit from the Speech and Language therapy team yesterday and it's not good. She's struggling with food, she'd said that food wasn't going down. So they tried her with a sandwich and she couldn't clear it after

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
