    • Close Brain Injury

      I am the sole caregiver for my girlfriend of 2 years. She suffered a TBI almost 13 years ago and was on medication when I met her so I did not realize the extent of her situation. However, if one falls in love with someone only to find out that they have cancer does it change how much u love? She is very high functioning mostly but...not all days are like that.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2005. I WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 9 MONTHS AND AM NOW BACK WORKING AGAIN. I INJURED MY BACK AND NECK AND BOTH MENTALLY AND PYSICALLY HAVE NEVER BEEN QUITE THE SAME. MY ABILITY TO MULTITASK AND STAY ORGANIZED IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. I FORGET THINGS OR LOSE THINGS. I WAS NEVER LIKE THAT BEFORE. IT MIGHT BE THE MEDICATION OR THE PAIN, I'M NOT SURE. BUT DAILY IS FRUSTRATING. IT SEEMS LIKE I'LL NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH TO EXERCISE OR GET BACK IN SHAPE...
