Bio
In summer 2012, I had an unexpected seizure and tests concluded that I'd had a Grade 2 meningioma (a brain tumour). Effects include: long-term fatigue, widespread physical pain, slowed cognitive processing, anxiety and loss of self confidence, especially as I had to give up work. With determination and support from others, I'm discovering the 'New Me,' including strategies to manage the effects of the the brain injury; building my resilience, and improving my mental health. I'm sharing my 'Survival Guide' of tips and strategies, to hopefully help to improve life after brain injury and epilepsy. Whether you are a brain injury survivor, family member, friend or someone caring for them.
