Fatigue

Join Allan and Richard today as they discuss how to understand and identify fatigue, in working towards long-term recovery from a brain injury.  Allan explains how fatigue can easily be confused with feelings of excitement, anxiety, and also new symptoms in those early days after injury. There's no doubt that sleep is integral to anybody's well-being, but Allan highlights its particularly critical role in managing fatigue symptoms, alongside paying attention to early warning signs.  Other topics include the effect of alcohol, feeling stigmatised in social situations, difficulties planning and travelling, understanding you as an individual, and the supportive role of family and friends.  "...it's like playing a game of 11 aside football with only 8 players..." @psychologychartered
