Incredible insight and such an eloquent speaker. Thanks and best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@miraculouslyhealedGCS3]

Thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@linwei-lee110]

15 years ago I had a severe brain injury with a long term prognosis of very poor. Thank you for sharing your journey with us so eloquently. You lifted my spirit on a difficult day

[@sintrix2020]

My gf is going through this right now, and we have to decide what to do soon. How is your quality of life now, are you happy?

[@samsmom400]

@@sintrix2020 The first thing anyone should do, after receiving a TBI, is to get an evaluation by a speech or occupational therapist. All you have to do is ask your doctor to give you a referral. I didn't go for the longest time because I didn't have a problem talking, no one told me they evaluate your memory. All my doctors told me I was fine. Then, over about 7 years later, my counselor is the one who realized I had a problem with my memory,referred me to a speech therapist and then FINALLY the ST pinpointed exactly what was wrong. MRI's are no help and all those other scans.

[@rmorph33]

Hello, I am very similar. How are you doing today?

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

In 2 years time I suffered 2 brain injuries. Both of which were life threatening and life altering. My doctors said my survival was miraculous. Everything changed for me. I look normal but my brain isn’t. I have a service dog now and often get asked WHY.

[@jakethedog4397]

I look fine, sound fine, move fine but everything inside is different. I’m not me. I’m sad 😢

[@miraculouslyhealedGCS3]

I recently had a severe Traumatic Brain Injury, too!!! But fortunately, my recovery has been miraculous. I hope yours heads in a similar positive trajectory, too!!

with you on that....keep keeping on!

[@kabo0m]

Thank you for this. This is really telling and helps me understand better what my friend H is going through and I shared this with her to remind her the need for rest and breaks as she has been really stressed doing everything alone and trying to be a good mother still to her kids while recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury. Thank you for talking about this.

[@Daughterofmoses77]

Thank you for all the info ..

[@johnvallsater4499]

I'm somewhere on the autism spectrum and I feel exactly the same. It feels like my brain is damage suffering stimuli problems and cognitive problems. I try to work out everyday and eat well, hope my brain will get better

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I am very limited when it comes to employment... I attempted and failed to become a Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman and a 911 Emergency Dispatcher.... After several years( and tears) of crashing and burning,I now recieve SSDI,Food Stamps,Medicaid,Medicare,and Section 8 Housing and can only work part time driving for a local car dealership...

[@synapseslp9325]

Valuable insight. Thank you for sharing. I hadn’t yet realized my son will likely be experiencing this when he’s as far along as you. I’m so proud of you. ❤

[@samsmom400]

When we look and sound "normal", but we've suffered from a bad head injury, the call it "High Functioning".

[@billygnosis6976]

As one who also suffered a severe TBI, I want to first thank you for your video. secondly to agree with you regarding many of your points. The old saying..."fake it till you make it" has had a truly negative affect on me. As someone who was very high functioning and successful my injury has affected every, and I do mean every aspect of my life. Friends and family who don't see me on a daily basis think I have recovered and don't see the affects that my faking it have on me. After almost a decade I can tell you that my biggest challenge is fatigue, it never goes away and I find myself moving very slowly, physically and mentally to try and mange it. But at the end of the day it is always waiting to reappear. I will say you do keep recovering, slowly, and I feel blessed that I am so much better then I was after the first two or three years. But bottom line I wouldn't wish this upon anyone.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Exactly!!

[@faisalbi1330]

Hi how are you now?

[@zoltthebolt217]

im currently going thru this, i raised my sons by myself and was able to multitask easily. i just broke down and admitted im afraid snd need to seek help asap

[@samsmom400]

Have you had an evaluation done by a speech or occupational therapist? That's the first thing that should happen.

[@lronbutters5688]

Well said and well done!

There is a live streamer named Jewel Rancid. She had a tbi and needs help. Seriously.

TBI is one if the most misdiagnosed conditions... TBI is not a "One size fits all" condition... Since 1997,I struggle with repeating myself,anger,frustration,anxiety,depression,and memory.... TBI: Yoy only know it if you live it!!

[@mourningwarbler]

Glad you could get up and use the restroom! That's a beginning!

[@samsmom400]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm just wondering, how's it going right now? It's been a while since you've been there. Also, are you in a support group for TBI's? If not, I can give you some information, I am involved in some TBI classes through ZOOM.

[@miraculouslyhealedGCS3]

Thanks for the message! I'm okay. I seem to have healed better than most others I've met. There are survivor groups, both for TBI and Hydrocephalus. The hydrocephalus is more rare, challenging, and present for the rest of my life.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

​@@miraculouslyhealedGCS3I suffered my TBI in a bad car wreck in 1997..... I recently attended a State Brain Association convention and saw survivors that are a lot if worse off than I am... Some are in wheelchairs and can barely speak if at all ... Nothing like seeing cases like that to pull your head out of your a**!!
