It's not an excuse but a sad reality that brain injury survivors fatigue differently after their injury. The only way to function is by taking the time to recharge often #brainstormforbraininjury #braininjury #braininjurylife #braininjuryproblems #invisibledisability

I'm feeling cross 😡Why are people still being told there is no hope after a large #stroke & for #Aphasia recovery in 2024 in the UK?? ESPECIALLY LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER STROKE. Can anyone make it make sense?? #Rant #StrokeRecovery #AphasiaAwareness #Hope instagram.com/reel/C40inbGsZ…

Since posting I've heard from many more people who were told there was no hope for recovery. Recent stories!😢It really feels there is something in lack of experience/understanding of what can happen months/years later. I thought we were moving past "no rehab potential"#Aphasia

Totally share your concerns Carly. I wonder if those working in acute services lack experience of the long term outcomes that can be achieved with good quality, evidence based SLT. I work with ppl years post stroke who achieve their goals and live well with aphasia. Just like Jan

It's a really good question w/lots of valid answers. Is it prevalence? Consequences? This is a great opportunity to share a social media post or ask a question or have a conversation or start a blog or donate time or money or call the survivor you know. This is an opportunity

Unlike 'normal' fatigue, which is time-limited and alleviated by rest, the intense feeling of fatigue after brain injury may be present most of the time and can have a significant impact on quality of life. We've put together eight ways to cope: headway.org.uk/about-brain-in…

I have #aphasia (a #communication #disability), I tried to call my local @AskNationwide to change my surname. After several attempts I keep getting transferred to the wrong department who then tell me they can’t book appointments. This is too difficult and shouldn’t be so hard!!!
