Impact of Fatigue on TBI with Dr. Maria on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

Our regular contributer Dr. Maria Romanas is back to discuss "The Impact of Fatigue on Executive Function in TBI".  As we proceed through Brain Injury Awarness Month, knowledge is power.  Many report that fatigue is their most challenging symptom after brain injury. Reasons for the fatigue are not well understood but may include endocrine abnormalities, the need for the brain to work harder to compensate for brain injury deficits (in other words, inefficiency), or changes to brain structures. Cognitive fatigue is often characterized by feeling mentally drained, apathy, and difficulty concentrating. Other symptoms include: Being easily distracted. Problems with working memory. Sound familiar? You are not alone. Recovery Now is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior!
