A person with a brain injury answers your questions

Nina Duggan suffered a traumatic brain injury after she slipped off a rope swing two years ago. Subscribe to Re: bit.ly/subscrib...
She spent three weeks in an induced coma and had to learn how to walk, talk and eat again.
“Even though I do have a brain injury, I'm still really hard on myself. The comparison to people my age seeing them all move on and do adult things does leave me feeling behind. It doesn't make me feel good about myself at all.”
Re: News journalist @zoemaddensmith sat down with Nina to talk about what it is like to live with a brain injury and how there needs to be more awareness for this invisible disability.

I don't have brain injury but I have had brain surgery (remove tumor). While I know my symptoms are not as severe as Nina's I do relate to the increase in fatigue. That is one major change for me, in my experience is getting tired way more quickly.
I wish Nina & her Whanau all the best for their future.
