I had a serious concussion in 2014, falling HARD on ice, violently whacking the back of my head. Nothing was the same. I couldn't speak, remember conversations, read(including recipes), spell, do math, etc. My aphasia came at a bad time; I was raising two teen girls with PTSD. Damn!!!!

I’ve had 12 concussions where I was knocked unconscious. The first one happened when I was just 10 months old by falling down a flight of stairs and hitting my head off a concrete wall. The next one came at 7 years old when I got hit by a car and cracked my head off the curbing. Unknown to me, the damage to my brain began showing up in my school work in 2nd grade and failing grades. Little did I know Aphasia was the cause till I tried to write my autobiography. I’m 81 now and still have trouble with words and spelling them. If I’m looking for a word I know but can’t remember it till I stop to think and finally come up with it. It’s not that I can’t remember it, it’s that I don’t remember it. I know it’s there, I just don’t know how to remember it. If I’m talking to someone and the word I wanted to use isn’t there, I’m forced to use a different word. So life keeps moving on with missing words.

a had a stroke on 6/7/24. Aphasia and I feel I stupid

Very proud of your recovery and your dedication to help others, Craig!!!!

This definitely resonates because I had a stroke in 2022. I'm still working on my speech, but I just don't want to talk to people, as much....

The stupid loud music stopped me from concentrating. I have already aphasia, do you think I will understand anything from this !!! What are you people?

Does high glutamate diet affect Broca's aphasia?

Just found this! My husband has Aphasia.

This is all very interesting, Maeta, by chance we're you the wife of the great MD, Dr John Sarno??? He is a hero of mine!!!! Thank you...Heather Murray

This month's Ask the Expert was a great way to learn about occupational therapy and exciting new technology that OTs use in stroke rehabilitation. Kristin and Becca's messages of hope and the power of neuroplasticity were so inspiring and encouraging.

chicken!

The older we get, the more frailties come to the surface and more aware we are of our deficiencies. These neurological issues are the worse because they inhibit your ability to deal and manage your shortcomings and possibly catch them early on in its development. I've started to develop these symptoms myself and I'm only 47 years old but my ability to fluidly communicate with people either through verbal or text has seem to hit a barrier like the person said in this video.

I thought Bruce lost his mind but it's just his communication skills.

I was lucky enough to only experience this during a migraine and it wasn’t permanent

I'm not someone who using Zoom

Who else is here because Wendy Williams was diagnosed with this disease?

As an RN and proud Mom of a 34 year old son with aphasia and apraxia (ischemic stroke Oct 2022) I absolutely loved hearing Bryn’s story. So inspiring and hopeful!

I am wondering how to volunteer. This was so interesting but I have no idea how to volunteer in Connecticut. There seems to be a lot in FL, NC, PA and CA. I can’t figure out CT. I also listen to Brain Friends and was thinking of writing and asking Angie C.

What can i do for him ?

I spend my time with a young man with this problem as i work in a facility for long term care. I just found out that afasia is what he has. He is a darling!

I have this and it tough at times. But I just listen carefully and then "Smile" as my superpower to get others to "slow down" to share

Can hearing loss in one’s 40s cause this?

❤😊

Thank you !

My god I love Oliver Sacks. What a gift to humanity he was. Watching the $10,000 pyramid as a kid has helped me with my (mild) aphasia so much!
