This book is a great read, no complicated medical terminology left unexplained. Jok.
I've got to chapter 11 with #LivingWithMildBrainInjury by @poconnor about her experiences with #braininjury, and I'm totally gripped with the book. Thoughts so far, thread down below 👇

Hidden symptoms of brain injury
This memoir includes descriptions of the hidden symptoms of concussion & post-concussion syndrome; and explains pitfalls in diagnoses, the uneven progress of recovery, and the varied reactions which others have to an acquired brain injury.
The narrative incorporates memories alongside extracts from clinic notes, diary entries, and emails to reflect the disjointed progress of diagnosis and recovery; as- although similar- no two head injuries are the same. Through this book, the reader gains an appreciation of the confusion experienced by many brain injury survivors, which sheds light on why some may develop unusual behaviour or mental health issues, and how such issues can be alleviated.
Brain injuries, the public and sports injuries
Brain injuries are poorly understood by the public and this can lead to difficult interactions. Moreover, complications in diagnosis means some may not realise they have this milder form of brain injury.
As concerns grow over the risks which contact sports pose, this book shows how even mild brain injuries can wreak havoc with careers, relationships and one’s sense of self.
