Author Carol Shifflett penned the book Migraine Brains and Bodies, which discusses the Myths, Facts & Realities of this Monster that revisits so many of us with Brain Injury..

Carol is a science writer and former migraineur. She other books include Ki in Aikido, Aikido for Teaching & Training, and the much celebrated – Conquering Concussion with Dr Mary Esty. Check out that wonderful interview from June 22nd On Demand.

So many of us suffer the ill effects of migraine, that I wanted to bring Carol back to have a discussion of the intricacies of this specific issue. It seems little is understood about Monster Headaches/Migraines, that more investigation was warranted. Check out Carol’s site at www.migrainebrainsadbodies.com and join us for an enlightening show!

My guest tonight is Toni Samanie, who hosts valuable social media pages on RX Drugs, and the dangers that have occured. Though there are some who require medication, there is no doubt that we have an over prescribed society, the ramifications of which can be dibilitating or even lethal. We will be discussing some of the more currently advertised at the time.

Cliff Drake served our country for 20 in the United States Army, holding several positions. He was medically retired for seizures brought on by brain injuries. Cliff’s journey includes many VA prescribed pharmaceutical, that didn’t prove effective, so he sought out and learned about NeuroTherapy. In doing so, he found Dr. Mary Lee Esty of the Brain Wellness of Bethesda in Maryland. The discovery has made hope come alive.

Anne Forrest PhD, was invited to speak by the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) at the State of the Art of Post-Acute Rehabilitation in 2005 because of her remarkable recovery once she got to appropriate rehabilitation including neurooptometric therapy, vestibular therapy and cognitive rehabilitation over 3 ½ years after the accident. Like many patients with concussion, Anne had a difficult path getting to appropriate rehabilitation even though she was diagnosed with TBI/concussion within weeks after her accident in Washington DC in 1997. Like Anne, many people with concussion are told by well-meaning doctors that their recovery will be limited to 1 or 2 years. Her 2005 speech made the point that cognitive rehabilitation and other therapies had helped her long after the low expectations set by her doctors. Anne has given over 60 speeches mostly about the long term recovery she has had and she is still recovering after 19 years. Read her informative blog: aplasticbrain.com
