I cannot be around children without having an incredible urge to hold them, care for them, cuddle them, or if a child is taken away from me while holding them etc I get angry :/ I suffer with phantom pregnancy also... :/ is there anything

General Medical staff knowledge of head injuries
We all know that the human brain is quite complex but since man has been getting head injuries since he first set foot on the planet why is there such a lack of knowledge / inclination to treat head injury ?. If someone turns up at a GP with something like Diabetes, the support and therapy you get

I was back driving occationally about six months after the car accident which gave me a brain injury but I wanted more. I wanted to be formally taught better driving and I want to help the canoe club I run by being able to take people on trips so I needed to get a minibus licence. This is a very faffy

Health visitor makes me feel like crap :(
Just a bit of a rant really. James is four months now. My health visitor suggested, and I'm saying suggested although she practically told me, that James needed to learn how to self soothe to go to sleep on a night. He's a breastfed baby and so frequently falls asleep on my chest and then I put him

Anyone here suffer from dizziness and clumsiness?
Today was a bit of a biggy. I fell down the bottom third of the stairs. Both kids were home (son day off from college and daughters school had a yr 6 intake day) so at least I wasn't alone when it happened. Now have a bruised elbow and a sore arse. Thankfully nothing serious although as it was my left

Really not in a good place
My 9 yr old is saying he is not going to school because he wants to look after me. I'm not sure if he is telling the truth or not. I had a talk with my husband and told him some home truths, I still feel though it is all my fault for being like this. I've rung the doctors this morning and put a rocket
