Brain Aneurysms vs Strokes

All episodes available at http://TheNeuroNerds.com. Follow @TheNeuroNerds on Twitter/Instagram and Like us at Facebook.com/TheNeuroNerds. Summary We always joke that The NeuroNerds are not experts on brain injury, but rather experts on experiencing brain injury.  So when our host Joe, got the opportunity to interview Dr. Karen D. Sullivan, an actual expert, he was more than excited!  Dr. Sullivan is a neuropsychologist that specializes in working with patients recovering from brain injuries such as strokes, TBIs, aneurysms and more.  In this episode, Joe talks with the doc about PTSD, recovery, and her new book "Interactive Stroke Recovery Guide - 10 Rules of Rehab".  She gives us an insight to the brain injury journey from a caring health professional point-of-view that we haven't explored yet on this podcast.  It's a very eye-opening episode to say the least.  Do you have questions for Dr. Sullivan?  Let us know on Instagram and tag @icareforyourbrain.

I Care For Your Brain: Stroke Awareness with Dr. Sullivan

Thomas Mejia

All episodes available at http://TheNeuroNerds.com. Follow @TheNeuroNerds on Twitter/Instagram and Like us at Facebook.com/TheNeuroNerds Summary It’s our 40th episode! So of course this is an extra special episode. It’s host Joe Borges’ first interview with a fellow brain injury survivor in-person! But it’s really less of an interview and more of a candid talk between two brain injury survivors. This episode’s interviewee is AVM survivor Thomas Mejia. Thomas is also our December Patreon Donation spotlight supporting his 4th craniotomy surgery and recovery. This is our first month donating a portion of the proceeds from our Patreon supporters to causes and individual survivors like Thomas. Every month we will be featuring a different donation spotlight and we’re very excited to kick off this new initiative with Thomas! So take a listen as Joe and Thomas explore and reflect on Thomas’ journey as he prepares for what will hopefully be his last craniotomy surgery this December. Credits Support The NeuroNerds podcast on Patreon and join our NeuroJedi High Council at www.Patreon.com/TheNeuroNerds- Plus this month we will be donating a portion of the proceeds from our Patreon supporters to Thomas' GoFundMe to help with his 4th craniotomy surgery and recovery Follow Thomas' journey at @tmejia111 on Instagram.

The NeuroNerds Holiday Gift Guide 2019

All episodes available at http://TheNeuroNerds.com.  Follow @TheNeuroNerds on Twitter/Instagram and Like us at Facebook.com/TheNeuroNerds. SummaryHost, Joe Borges is interviewing not one, but three amazing guests in this episode.  These guests are the Three Stromies - three women who connected through their common experience of surviving major strokes at young ages.  They share their experiences from suffering their strokes to recovery to their lives after stroke.  Plus they talk about how they found purpose in sharing other stroke survivor’s stories as well as their own to inspire and empowering our stroke survivor community. Topics Discussed in this Episode  Introduction of the The Stromies - Sarah, Tamson and Angie   Homies + Stroke = Stromies   They discuss how the Stromies all met each other   Everyone shares what type of strokes they suffered - Joe suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to high blood pressure; Sarah suffered two strokes; Tamson had a an Ischemic stroke due to holes in her heart that are a genetic mutation so she’s basically like an X-men mutant; and Angie’s adrenaline and blood pressure spiked to 300/155 due to a tumor on her adrenal gland so she’s not sure what kind of stroke she suffered because there were so many things that happened to her during her ordeal.   They discuss trouble connecting with people post stroke and losing friends because they can’t relate to their experience.   The Stromies talk about how fulfilling it is to share other stroke survivor’s stories on their platform.   Sharing your stroke story can be therapeutic, but also not everyone is ready because it makes it too real.   Sharing your story gives strength to others going through the same journey.   Everyone shares their first memories after leaving the hospital.

The Three Stromies Interview

Show notes for Episode 34 All episodes available at http://TheNeuroNerds.com.  Follow @TheNeuroNerds on Twitter/Instagram and Like us at Facebook.com/TheNeuroNerds. SummaryThis episode is all about post-stroke and neuro-fatigue.  Co-hosts Joe Borges and Lauren Manzano discuss their experiences with this condition and how they manage and cope with it.  They give tips from seeing a therapist, seeking a community even if it is long distance and the importance of being patient with yourself and your progress throughout recovery.  Plus, Oct 15th (the day of this podcast release) is the 3-year anniversary of Lauren’s concussion so we are celebrating her recovery and how far she has come! Topics Discussed in this Episode  Post-stroke fatigue and neuro-fatigue   Lauren reads the definition of neuro-fatigue   Joe talks about his struggles with neuro-fatigue and post-stroke fatigue   Your brain can bounce back more easily without injury, but with a brain injury, it takes longer.   Joe thought he was over neuro-fatigue, but it has been coming back lately   Everyone is different in their brain injury recovery.  Some end up recovering faster and slower.  Don’t compare yourself to other survivors.   Community is important to not feel alone   Patience is important during recovery   The goal of recovery is not to go back to where you were before your brain injury.  You have to find your new normal.   Survivors are like Pokemon, we’re always evolving during recovery.   Joe talks about his goal of being a better version of himself everyday.  Lauren helps him alleviate the pressure of that goal.  Joe realizes that he’s going to make his goal have less pressure and instead attempt to be better each day and it’s ok if he doesn’t always make it.   3-year anniversary of Lauren’s concussion brain injury is on Oct 15th   Lauren has trouble remembering words because of her brain injury.   Therapy helped Lauren stop minimizing her brain injury   Accepting your new normal is a big part of the recovery process.  It allows you to heal.   Joe and Lauren encourage survivors to see a therapist.   Your community may be not be local.  Search online.   Recovery isn’t a straight line.
