And Then My Brain Exploded
My guest tonight is Shubie Gomez, a multiple brain aneurysm survivor, 5yrs out. As I recognize the anniversary this week of my own rupture, I’m happy to be having her join me. We want to help listeners better grasp this little understood example brain trauma. Think the topic doesn’t apply to you? One in 50 people in the U.S. have unruptured aneurysms, of which many are not yet aware. Every 18 minutes an aneurysm ruptures, killing 40% almost instantly and leaving over 60% of survivors with life long neurological deficits. A rupture is sometime also referred to as a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage or Hemorrhagic Stroke. Listen in so you’ll better understand a condition that affects more people than you’d imagined. Be Aware!
NeuroFatigue for New Years
Feeling full of energy as you enter the New Year, or perhaps feeling like you drug yourself to the finish line and hit the wall? If that last option resembles you, the likely culprit is NeuroFatigue. A Dutch company recently released an excellent article (https://www.braininjury-explanation.com/consequences/neurofatigue) that describes this common element of brain trauma. Based on how I’m feeling, thought this might be a good time for a review and YOUR input. Join me!
