Brain Injury Radio

Please join me, Lisa Dryer, and my friend, Susan Dampf Staton, on "Mess With MS" on November 12th! On https://www.blogtalkradio.com/braininjuryradio Sunday at 5:30 PM Pacific, 7:30 PM Mountain, and 8:30 PM Eastern. You can listen to the show by calling 424-243-9540 at your local time. You can even call in and talk to us during the interview! If you miss the program, you can access it anytime on the Brain Injury Radio Network in our archives. This program is about how a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis can change your life. It's FOR anyone with a chronic condition or those interested in learning more about MS, Brain Injury, Lupus, Cancer, Stroke, Migraine, Lyme, and other health issues. MS is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. IT CHANGED MY LIFE when I discovered that I was diagnosed with it. Our show tonight will be about a NEW stage of life that Susan and I are both experiencing: Middle Age! While most people's mid-life cycles are filled with work and children, that does not happen for all people with disabilities. In fact, Susan and I have had to deal with the usual grief and loss that most middle-aged people have to deal with -- watching their parents and friends age, but how should someone with compromised health deal with all of this? Especially when stress can make MS flair up a real problem. MS doesn't care if the stress you are dealing with is something that you HAVE to go through or not. I'd love it if YOU joined our discussion!

Another Fork in the Road - Crystal Fairles - Caregivers Face Burnout Let's be honest. Caregiving is not a walk in the park. Throw in young children, teenagers, a job, and a myriad of other responsibilities into the mix and it can be a nightmare. But, let's talk about it! Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices!
