FAKE GOSSIP Fall of America

Chaos is everywhere on We Deserve Better with Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 06 Sep 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Nancy Schussel is just your average woman who suddenly finds it very hard to be in the outside world, because that world has seemed to change since her brain trauma. Physically, psychologically, and intellectually, the universe is suddenly producing major challenges everywhere she turns. Life is traditionally unexpected, but we do not expect the physical boundaries of our normal space to change, or our memory to simply go on vacation when we need it most. Nancy has found the act of renegotiation herself with her world to has become the new normal. We are all growing older, so some blame that process, but a sudden change in our circumstances (in our world or in our person) is never ordinary. She finds that the act of rediscovering every common aspect of life is suddenly necessary. None of us choose to be in a different world, but the process of finding oneself there, despite our attemps to be elsewhere, can be very disconcerting. Nancy will help us understand how a brain injury messes with every aspect of life and forces us to find new ways to cope. This is impossible for one to perfect these thoughts and challenges beforehand as these injuries are nearly always unexpected. We have each been put in an essentially new universe and left alone to deal with it however we can. We can do better by understanding that we are not in this alone. If we see that these new phenomena are not new at all, but simply a rung in the ladder of the world which we all must climb, we realize others have done it, so we can too.

The Matt Duffin Show : Sept. 1, my Memorial day of different Labors...

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 02:00:00 +0000

My 'prescribed' summer medicine has been extended, but soon, real soon, the "Summer of Matt, Summer of Fun" is due for a check up with my BIRN friends and foes, and check this, for myself it is much needed. I soarly miss Brain Injury Radio. But a prescribed break was needed, for my health if not my ways. TMDS, checking back in, before a 'breif' check out, for a couple weeks I pray. Not my rules, but the 'medicine' is seeming to work. Brain rests aren't majic, no THC injected in the Rest Stops. (ever take a vacation in Milton, Indiana? I did?) And as ALWAYS, my neuropsycologist was correct in slowing down this wreck of a brain. I feel recovery happened again, but I'm its only my brain's opinion, not the lovely darling super doc who has the throttle under her control, pretty much for the past 11-ish years. Rock On RHI and IU Health... (424) 243-9540 is the number to call from 10 pm until around Midnight. Just call, say hi, Matt. Or, screw off Matt...I'm good with either. September 1st has been a Dark Comedy in my world....Laugh life off with me...

What if I told you that all of your pain, Hurt, and Heart Ache, and suffereing was just part a big devilish game that Satin has thrown in your face to try to stop you from acceping who you are no matter what life or your disabilility has thrown at you. When you realiize who you really are you will see that you are a person first not a disability. I only wish I could have understood the the fact that each and every day matterd and I was important and had a lot of opourtunitys when I was younger than today. But that doesnt matter now thw fact that you are all still here and alive means that you are willing to lean new life skill and set new goals and that means a lot to me!!! Im back in the saddle again after fighting my own battles of being very sick for the past 6 weeks as well as fighting massive migranes but as I said before Dream Catchers is about acceptance, freendship and Kindness and compassion as we all go on a journey together around the World together live on the Brain Injury Radio Network.

give me libery- no everything for free

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Disability has been associated with the worst treatment that man kind has shown form abuse, total control of, the loss of dignity and human rights to death and abandonment to die. Many generations of people with disabilities fought to gain these things that all Americans once held true. The fought hard and gave their all including their lies for this better world. And typically, it has been the government they had to fight along with the professionals who held us captive. It only took a few free thinkers with disabilities to make this happen. No, the fight is to get more. As our country plummets into debit our Politian’s keep promising more free stuff free to all even those who don’t live here. They want so badly to be elected public official who mostly leave millionaires their public service by promising thing that never happen and controlling those they can. Who is first to pay or be blamed where do those fingers point first and how ironic where the movement is its back with those who lost the fight a fight that may or will not ever happen again people sold their freedom for free stuff something as little as a fair ticked or gas card. This and more tonight at 7;PM

Do we learn from history of do we repeat it, i think the answer is easy and that is that we repeat it. As fast as they can they are changing our history, our lessons in live and living. Polititians are turning us against each other in order to profit from us. Professionals are taking our voices away and we support then in doing it. Because they give us free stuff, we want to be validated by them. They may give you what you want to hear, a free movie or picnic but all the while they are ploting how they can control, profit and lead you where they want you to go. All the time we go along with it for the free stuff to be validated. push comes to shove you are history . If there is any comon seansse of people who like their freedon stand up before it is to ate

Safety in the Home: We Deserve Better with Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 02 Aug 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Kathleen Stross, my guest this evening, will talk about some of the problems that people have (particularly head-injury survivors) in navigating spaces. She comes from a physical therapy background and works with rebalancing life for survivors of traumatic brain injuries, at the Vestibular Disorders Association. That is, any issue regarding dizziness, vertigo, balance, ataxia, postural stability, and the Vestibular-Ocular reflex is her area of expertise. Admittedly, this is a huge category, but it all relates to vestibular problems. Unfortunately, head-injury survivors universally have problems navigating spaces. She will discuss why brain injuries seemingly always cause vestibular disorders. What exactly are these disorders? And what can we do to improve our gait and movement on a permanent basis? These questions lead to the more important functional issues of FALL PREVENTION and HOME SAFETY. I know these questions are of concern to me, and I imagine that these are not idle queries for a lot of head-injured folks. Let's face it, our balance is not what it used to be. She will talk about why this is and what we can do about it. On this issue, she has written a home safety assessment to help prevent falls in the home.

Special Edition: Swimming in the River of Denial with Nich Dee

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 02:00:00 +0000

- "Swimming in the river of denial." As people and families with TBI know, the survivor (and sometimes family members) tends to be in denial of how bad the deficits are, especially in the early stages of recovery. How do you help the survivor realize things are not like they used to be? Eventually they will catch on, but not before a lot of struggles. I can remember when my light finally dawned and I realized "not the same Nichole." And to this day 30 years later, I still find things that I can't do as well and get frustrated and deny that I can't do it. So I go ahead and do it and end up paying for it later. Is there a way to make us get out of the denial quicker and maybe learn from it? Hosted by Nich Dee

"Mess With MS" Presents The True Colors Of A Survivor with Alisa Marie

Sun, 14 Jul 2019 00:30:00 +0000

Lisa Dryer has the incomparable Alisa Marie back to "Mess With MS," to share Strength, Hope, and Humor on this VERY SPECIAL episode! My name is Lisa Dryer and I have been on the Brain Injury Radio Network as a guest and as a host for two years now. When I was a child, I endured learning difficulties and had a seizure disorder. This was caused by the cardiac arrest and the lack of oxygen to my brain as a premature infant in the Neonatal Care Unit. When I was an adult, I finally realized that what I thought was a "learning disability" was actually a brain injury with the complications Premature birth can have. I had been struggling with akward health difficulties for a while.Then I saw a computerized tomography (CT) scan, and I laughed and when showed an abnormal brain reading. I said,“I know that already! Tell me something I don’t know!” Then, they told me I had M.S. and I took the news with ease. Without knowing it to be a serious health complication! From my first interview, I have said that my outlook on life would be, “Find the beautiful around you and stay calm.” That is where my idea for the grassroots #MSbeautiful came from. While it is important to acknowledge our MS or BI it is also important to remember to RELAX when we can! To Have Fun! To try to learn new coping mechanisms and to try to meet and communicate with the important or sometimes new people in our lives! I am having the incomparable Alisa Marie on my show tonight! 7/13/2019 at 5:30 PST-8:30 Eastern This will be a very special episode! Please tune in for more giveaways and lots of strength, hope and wonderful survivor stories! 424-243-9540

Special Edition - Ken Collins on the Limbic System

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Tonight, Ken Collins will talk about the role the limbic system plays in brain injury recovery. The limbic system controls our emotions, personality and where fight or flight response is centered. Why don't more people know about this and why isn't the limbic system better understood by people with brain injuries since emotions, personality changes and anger can play such a big role in the lives of people with brain injuries? Maybe if people with brain injuries had a better understanding of the limbic system our lives might be a little easier and our quality of life would be improved.

How do I return to normal after my TBI? We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 05 Jul 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Multiple systems are disrupted during any brain trauma. There are so many things that we can choose to work on to heal, that it's easy to get lost. This podcast will discuss several different strategies we can choose - non-conventional ways - to improve the health of the body, or of only one specific aspect of our health, as we choose. Emily Annis a previous guest on this show (discussing her stroke and her website) and she will revisit us tonight talking about her particular interest - essential oils. This is something else she is passionate about and the healing effects are widespread and cover many categories. I will talk about chiropractic care, as that is something I have found is a huge help to me and many others who have experienced physical or emotional traumas. One of the big problems we see in our office is anxiety disorders among people who have had head injuries of some sort. That is something that can be explored and discussed. Another problem we often encounter is depression. Bob Woolery (my husband, who is also a head injury survivor) will discuss fighting depression through action, a survival skill he has learned and practiced throughout the years. He has found that any tangible accomplishment can lift depression. In past episodes, I've discussed, meditation, reiki massage, medical marijuana, upper cervical chiropractic, legal intervention. For different people, they can each be effective. I would love to get more ideas for healing myself and others. Anyone else?

Her desire to overcome and succeed allowed her to work putting herself through college, which led to a successful career of over 25 years, assisting and enriching the lives of others. Wondering how she does it? She urges us not to focus on what was lost but rather what we have. Family and friends may walk out of our lives because things have changed. It is important to realize we are not at fault, we did not ask for this to happen. Head injuries happen all different times to all sorts of people; and they do not magically disappear. Brain injuries continue to heal for the rest of our life, causing changes in us and those around us. We are the same person we have always been. What has changed is that we now have limitations. We will face disappointments due to lack of acceptance and understanding. Monti urges us not to lose our identity but to look inside for Who We Are not What We Were. We need to find our purpose. In our search for acceptance we ask our self "What did I do wrong" or " What do I need to do"? We cannot control how others feel or act. We can control how we feel and how we respond to others. As she has put it, "You just got fired from life." Most of us with head injuries have experienced the emotion of loss of self and purpose. We are many times unable to return to our occupation or our position in our family. Having experience with this, Monti points out the dangers of the "What if's, expecting to find an easy answer or the right pill, therapy or doctor which can change everything. False promises often result in disappointments. We face this all the time. But she is here to share and encourage us to understand WE TOO WILL HEAL.

She's experienced it all on We Deserve Better - with Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 03 May 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Myrna Hayes has nearly completed the treatment phase from her current concussion (which was this past Oct.) This is not her first accident, so this rear-ender compounded a set of pre-existing problems. As a Chiropractor, I know that it is much harder to determine what was her pre-accident state when she has suffered previous brain injury accidents. We always tell people that healing is like peeling an onion, fixing and discarding a layer at a time. However, when there's been a previous accident, is each layer fixed or only partially healed due to the limits of matter? Ms. Hayes will talk about her impression and experience on her personal life. She will relate her current state to her work as well as her personal life. Myrna manages the local nature preserve and oversees the bird-watching days, holiday celebrations and other community activities. She has a lot of responsibilities and head-injury accidents are a time-consuming issue. She will discuss the current accident, and it's effects on her, as well as her previous experiences with vertigo and PTSD. Everything she has experienced in this brain trauma, as well as those in the past influences her current state. She is a strong woman, but no one is invulnerable.

The Models of Disability

Tue, 23 Apr 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Models are designed to deal with many things that we don't understand. It is the same with disability there are many models used to catagoize what we might have going on. Toward the end i am going to talk about a different kindof model one that you dont hear to much about if any but when it comes to disability we fit nicly in to one of the following for most people using these models. But be clear the peson witht he disability is concidered not capable and should never do anything helping himself or the community of people living with a specific difference due to a disability they were born with or one that they aquired along lifes path , First is the Moral model saying we are being punished by Gid abd deserve it the next is the medical mondel which says were brok or da=maged and need to be repairedthen there is that social model which depending on what side of it you live with. Some say the answer\s will be giving to you the other says i amnot a victim, there is no needto fix anuything we are a natural part of society There is some merrit in all. In the end it becomes a civil rights issue, even a right to exsist issue. What ever the conclusion it ads up to wedont belong in he community fully and at aill and oppurtunitys never given but no fear plans to fix that our happening as we speak if your born with many forms of brain injury doctors, government agencies and lawyers hope to scrreen before birth to iradicate many of thes brain injury killing babies

Medical Marijuana on We Deserve Better with Dorrin Rosenfeld - DrD

Fri, 05 Apr 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Medical Marijuana is becoming gradually adopted as a legal alternative in more and more states. Why? We've always heard (from the mainstream media) that Pot is known as a brain destroying substance that leads to more and more hard drugs. Or does it? This show will focus on an interview with Morgan Hannigan, who runs a health dispensary here in Vallejo, CA. Pot for medically overseen uses is proving to be more and more of a health and wellness benefit. Morgan and I will discuss some of the uses and benefits of the drug, and how it can help a person who is taking medically prescribed opiods for a specific condition. Often it is taken in addition to opiods; and just as often, it is used instead of these Dr.-prescribed pills. With opiod use damaging or killing thousands of people, we need an alternative. Cannabis provides such an alternative. It is easy to take and doesn't seem to interfere with the action of other drugs. And in spite of what the media and politicians would like us to believe, the side effects are very rare. What is the use of a health and wellness dispensary, you might be wondering. Such a place guarantees the quality and quantity of each dosage of cannabis to regulate the safety. And these dispensaries seem to be doing a good job, because there are no deaths associated with smoking pot. And the states that have legalized cannabis to sell are making money! -Morgan comes on 1/2 hour into the show. Initially, I will review some of the medical literature surrounding the substance.

DISABILITY MOVEMENTS CRUSHED - destroyed from with in

Tue, 26 Mar 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Killing unborn children with disability by screening them out playing god who gets to live, Denmark, Iceland and other have eliminated many disabilities. Do you realize most of the great achievers of the past would have never been born with this way of thinking? The power that disability once had has now been broken into little segments of people with disabilities all-fighting for the right to have a voice, even fighting each other. As billions in profits are generated and profiteers raising money in the name of the disabled and little to none ever touches the average person with a disability. Many still controlled, abused and if a movement begins its flames easily put out; they have learned to have us attract ourselves. When the idea of treating those with brain injury (knocked silly) or other types of brain disabilities came, it gave a impression of kindness–in some eyes, unearned kindness–to place individuals in “hospitals” specializing in Brain Health. 1773 marked the opening of the first such institution in the United States. Over the next 100 years, many new such hospitals opened, changing in design based on the latest theories of the time. It is interesting to note that the transition of Brain health disabilities (BHDs) from criminal to illnesses corresponds roughly with political and social unease. Institutions and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities The use of institutionalization for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities is influenced more by economic factors than the political ones dealt with by those with MHDs. Rather than a protective stance that even jailing those with MHDs came from, it was a desire to teach those with intellectual and dd that they might work. These ideals would later become restrictive in the name of protection of society from the “feeble-minded menace.”

Thousands of veterans are simply fed up with the political party nonsense and want to shine a light on the nonsense, lets start shining that light tonight!

Matrix Repatterning (treatment for TBI) on We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Most people are familiar with the type of brain injury that results from the jarring, bruising, stretching, or tearing of the nerve tissue of the brain. This often results from an impact to the head that bashes the brain into the skull, and can happen after falls, sports injuries, and auto crashes. When your head gets injured, however, the brain isn’t the only structure at risk as the injury is commonly absorbed into the skull itself. The bone molecules that make up the skull are normally arranged in a very specific geometric matrix. During injury, the bone expands, loses its normal resilience, and changes electrically. We treat the skull with a specialized form of manual therapy called Matrix Repatterning (MR), and then watch the improvement. MR is a new way of fixing health problems based on the understanding that living tissue is constructed of a matrix of cells that interconnect mechanically and electrically. Each time you are injured, the force of impact is absorbed into this matrix, causing rigidity and electrical abnormalities. Skull injury can affect the brain, which could create all sorts of remote problems. We have found that the source of your problems is rarely where you feel the symptoms. In fact, we often treat problems all over people’s bodies by working on their heads. MR uses gentle manual pressure to facilitate the discharge of the impact trauma stored in the skull or anywhere else in the body. This enables the skull to return to its natural state, which often quickly improves brain function, as well as patterns of pain and tension throughout the body.

PASS THE BASS· "My name's Dylan Flynn, I’m doing a campaign to raise money for brain injury support through music. I got my first bass when I was 15. Suffering a traumatic brain injury shortly after, I’m unfortunately not really able to play. I’ve been getting bassists to play mine. Bands have let me sell merchandise at shows. The money that I raise goes to the Brain Injury Association of America. Having done this for 3 yrs, over 30 bassists have played mine. Near $6,000 was donated in 2017. I’m currently 33, have lived with a traumatic brain injury the majority of my life. I’m trying to do what I can to help support other individuals struggling with brain injuries" This TMDS and BrainInjuryRadio.com's turn. T's can be found on BIAA products site...

The Matt Duffin Show - TBI 101: Back to Basics

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 03:00:00 +0000

In an escape, I've found the tunnel to the always spoken of - Cognitive Therapy is a brain skill needed. Admittedly, overwhelmed at times in my 11 years of returning from the dead. And, no, I don't believe I have any Zombie blood in me. Simply inner strength, and some of the best Neuro Contruction members in the world to drag my unmotivated ass along. After all, I did make the decision to 'wake up' - seeing how an Angel Mother I had, mentioned 54 Days of ''sleep'' was surely enough "Matthew''. It wasn't, but sure, I missed watching baseball. Baseball remains, as do I. 29 Surgeries later, it seems I've healed. But through it all, and I mean ALL, it appears (ok, have) BACKSLID my mental makeup. Yes, radio show, tv show gave me the appearance of operation of, support groups. Honestly, they do run and operate, but personally I have failed. Dr. Samantha Backhaus, who has raised my brain along a different, but encouraging path, has spoken. I have listened. TBI 101: Back to Basics, a work study of myself, by myself. Except, I do have the same, exact SPL Therapist from the Rehab Hospital of Indiana/Indiana University Health system. I'll talk about what is needed, felt and most importantly, a few tools to help me (us) along. Struggle inside your 'experienced' TBI mind? Often, or just daily? Share, offer us some of your tips of the Brain Train. Call in (424) 243-9540. Listen, talk or take your chances. Still awaiting the VA to accept grant, so the Computer/Studio/Hole-in-the-damed-roof has the Downtown Milton Studio on static stand bye. Problem solved, we'll talk on my phone line connected to the TBI Network's BrainInjuryRadio Studio. Shall we pray...

Another Fork in the Road: Malissa Mallett, Program Director of BIAAZ on Opioids

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 01:30:00 +0000

Malissa Mallett, the Program Director of BIAAZ (Brain Injury Alliance of Arizona), joins me to discuss the huge opioid crisis in the USA. She will talk about how the crisis is affecting the general population, as well as, survivors of brain injury. What can be done about the opioid crisis? 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!

Are you valued, by who..

Tue, 12 Feb 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Are you valued by everyone, by anyone? Who sees value in you? When a group of doctors or lawyers or the elite sit around and talk to you what do you think they say? Do they talk about all the things you can do or the things you can’t. All the good things you do or the pain in the ass you are. Do they want to empower you more because it meets their cause? It is actually shocking how little professionals think, of us and what are worth is. They figure they have you right where they want you, from your job, to your believes. Who has your back, you will know when you know I wish I could tell you everyone, but you will be able to count them on your hands in today’s society its not about making someone else look good its about money or making yourself look good. People lost their ability to do anything outside their own needs. And it is at any cost, they will lie, cheat or whatever it takes. Survivors and people with disabilities are the force that can change this. Don’t look at anyone else to find your value it is in your heart and has nothing to do with money and success as the world may see it. It has to do with common sense and humanity. Disability is a way of bring humans back to humanity.

Prevention of Suicide among Veterans and Others on We Deserve Better

Fri, 08 Feb 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Shauna Springer, Ph.D., can help! She is the Director of Suicide Prevention Initiatives at the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). In her previous work as a psychologist for the VA, she created the peer support program in the VA clinic where she worked to help warriors connect with a peer with lived experience as part of their treatment plan. By exploring the deepest values of her patients, she was able to strengthen their most important relationships and help them identify with their sense of purpose. She is the expert in several critical subjects that are not often discussed anywhere, such as 1) moral injury, 2) the links between shame, grief and suicidal ideation, and 3) the trust gap between warriors and civilian treatment providers. To brain-injured survivors of combar, and a variety of emotional traumas, these conversations are crucial. Dr. Springer’s suicide prevention work has been featured on a variety television, radio, and online podcasts. She is the subject matter expert for the monthly television program "Veterans Voices of Contra Costa County." She has discussed moral injury, suicide prevention innovations, substance abuse, healthy relationships during and after the military, high-dose caffeine use in the veteran population, and the emotional overlay of suicide, both for the victim and those close to that person.

Dream Catchers - No more saying I can’t! - LesPaul Morgan How many times a Day, Week, Month, or even a year do you find yourself just giving up throwing in the towel and say I’m sick of trying over and over again only to feel like what’s the point of trying anymore. Well sadly I have to say been through that situation over and over throughout my life only to feel like a total failure and wanting to just give up! Well that’s the Devil himself trying to deceive you and to try to destroy your blessings… I am going to ask you all to participate tonight and challenge everyone who is involved tonight to through that negativity in the trash heap of history where it belongs. Dream Catchers to me is an inclusive way of changing ourselves from the inside out that challenges our every inner thought to be a positive and motivating one. Instead of giving up build your self up and be the power house you have always dreamed of being. That is what a TRUE Dream Catcher is to me.

Another Fork in the Road: Panel - What NOT to Say to a Brain Injury Survivor

Mon, 04 Feb 2019 01:30:00 +0000

I think that every survivor of brain injury will agree that there are some things that they just don't want to hear from their family and friends. Some statements are sure proof that family and friends do not understand what their survivor is going through. "I forget a lot, too." "I'm totally exhausted, too." "You look great!" are just some of the offending statements. If you haven't had a brain injury, you probably won't undertstand. Tune in, so you won't be left out! 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.

Meet Tbin pronounced "Ti - ben" the future of quality assurance & fairness

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

We look around our world as we see values, ethics and basic treatment of humanity tossed aside for a profit, people slandered so another can get a head, our news it a top example of this 90% of what come out of it is a lie based on some agenda. This is our health care as well not to the extent but they are being manipulated by the same group of people. People just want to take and destroy. Their new model is conquer and divide and doing a good job at it to. They will do anything to own their markets, top their fields no matter the cost or human toll. And no one asks the questions anymore looks into the whole story, get the facts they take a piece of them and run with it, as long as it serves their agenda. Disability leads the chart because of the shear amount of money that is involved covering a huge range of displays from universities out right stealing people’s ideas because they are a better choice to run with it, professionals deceiving people in believing something that is not true to keep the business. And no one asks the questions. Lives destroyed people dying all for a buck. Or to have the power and control several years ago I made the decision to change this and I guess the time is now I have watched people minipulated just for fun, and just because you think you got away with it does not mean you did, karma is a bugger.

Dream Catchers - The Power of Peer Support! - LesPaul Morgan 20 Years

Wed, 23 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Dream Catchers -The Power of Peer Support - Les Paul Morgan 20 years of peer support Disabilities History Time Table and guide is designed to assist people with and without disabilities to learn about the rich history of people with disabilities. Thats why it is so important to be involved with Brain Injury Radio and the Disability Rights Movement! I have been working in the Disability Rights movement for 20 years now at a Center for Independent Living Can anyone tell me what the services of Independent Living Centers and BIRN are so Important? They are Advocacy, Information and Referral, Independent Living Skills, Peer Support and Mentoring, and Transition. Centers for Independent Living Make Community Living Possible Every Center for Independent Living has five core services that they must provide and, in our opinion, they are the Heart Beat and Life Blood of the Independent Living movement and Walton Options. Why are focusing so much on Peer Support? Because without it we might as well close our doors in our opinion and go home! CILs and why having Effective Peer Support Programs led by and for and by people with disabilities is so very important to the Independent Living Movement. Why is peer support so important? Lets talk about the Willow brook story and Geraldo Rivera https://youtu.be/7mGngRPTmDc

Sweet Dreams TBI with Nichole Dee

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Getting enough sleep is important to overall health and brain function. But getting quality sleep while brain injured is a trick. A lot of survivors suffer physical injuries along with the TBI,which can make it doubly difficult to go to sleep. Do medicines really work? Counting sheep? Taking an afternoon nap? If you are like me, you would do anything to get a good nights sleep on a consistent basis.

The Matt Duffin Show - Snowing? Uh, it's January...

Mon, 21 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Winter in Indiana, more specific the Downtown Milton Studio. Snow, cold, and wow, 40 degree days in between. On days you're stuck inside, think of what you would need for the next time your an insider. Or if your are a permenate insider, what is needed food wise, drink wise, warmth wise and entertainment wise. I guess its wise to have a snow shovel too. So, we'll discuss the wise mind and being wise minded. Notes, eyes sight, communication. We can pass on what we need. Even if its just our bed made tight. Life was good as was, sure, but better as is. You have found the majic key, put it to use. Yes, patience is the key, but always try using your key to life positively, others are watching. Trust me, others are looking at you... Call In, break the bored snow brings. Or, shine your ever loving light on us! (424) 243-9540 to talk, listen, or annoy me...

Another Fork in the Road: BI Survivor & Author - "But My Brain Had Other Ideas"

Mon, 21 Jan 2019 01:30:00 +0000

Deb Brandon, professor of mathmatics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA hurled down a new path in life when doctors discovered cavernous angiomas in her brain. That tanlged mess of malformed blood vessels changed Deb's life forever. Deb writes her story in her book, But My Brain Had Other Ideas - A Memoir of Recovery from Brain Injury." 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."

THE Matt Duffin Show - New Year? The Hope is For a New Day...

Mon, 07 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

War torn? Devided? Nope, I'm considered a Mental Case, as are you but WHAT mindset made that decision? Ten years into this Severe Traumatic Brain Injury a decision HAS been made. I'm silly. OK, and I can't do things every day, the same way. OK, I loose track of situations. I eat (some days), pay bills, get out and nearly about and make my own food (cearal and toast count!). I have a TRUSTED Caregiver at last - long last - who checks on me six hours a day (Sunday's off - wouldn't you need a break from me?) I've learned beyond the Doc's imagination's, just not mine. I approach each moment like it may be my last, but it has been before. I have been in war, but not torn. I do live in a devided country, so they say. I don't see it that way. Like you should always, I feel tomorrow is by far my favorite day. Nope, it's not my birthday, no monetary winning day scheduled and physically, I doubt I feel much better than today. But....I AM ALIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT!!! I didn't loose my mind, simply gained true thoughts of lives I saw faded in death. Purgatory is motionless - we're not there yet. Make today a better day for all (maybe not GOP folks - its already GREAT) with a promise of tomorrow. MY FAVORITE DAY...

Lisa Dryer, Bob Milsap, and Deb Brandon join me tonight to continue our conversation about "Sensory Overload after Brain Injury."

Helper Dogs on We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 04 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000

We all know that being around pet dogs helps extend our lives! Just visiting with these animals has a beneficial effect on our moods and behavior. Steven's Doggy Services offers dog walking, dog training and drop-in visits. This service is good for the customer, good for the dogs themselves, and good for the trainer - Steven. Steven Vela has a business in Jamison, Pennsylvanis training dogs which he then brings to your house to visit you. He is the survivor of a ruptured aneurysm at the base of his skull back in 2016 when he was in his mid-twenties. Apparently, he bled for 12 hours before seeking medical attention. He spent a total of a month in the ICU where they found another anuerism which was not yet burst (they were able to use stents to divert the blood from the area.) He learned about brain anuerisms early because his mother died from one when he was a young child. As he grew up, he began working in the hospitality industry where he worked for Norwegian Cruise Lines (which sailed around the Hawaiian Islands), and then as a server at multiple chain restaurants (which include Olive Garden) as a “certified trainer.” However, he had to give up that work after experiencing the ruptured aneurysm, as he was never the same. Suddenly a bunch of health problems occurred (orthostatic hypotension and chronic migraines). He attempted to return to work 6 months after being hospitalized, only to realize that things for him had permanently changed as he was now disabled. He was able to find his new “niche,” by turning to his 2nd great love - animals, especially dogs. That is when he began offering dog walking/drop-in visits. As he was doing dog walks, he earned his dog training certification. So he is able to offer dog training with the other services. He is now a satisfied business owner with Steven's Doggy Services.

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 03:00:00 +0000

For many Christmas is a very difficult time, which does get easier as time passes, but as we remember what once was, and the relationships of Christmas past. It can be a very sad overwhelming time of year and easy to forget what we have to thankful for. And through all the confusion and ciaos that is the life of someone living with a brain injury. Those precious gifts may go unnoticed. But what can be worse is those gifts of ourselves that we don’t or are not able to give. Tonight let’s talk about how we made it through Christmas and the special gifts in our lives. And how are you going to make the New Year coming up meaningful and happy. It takes lots of effort and hard work to rise from the depths of a brain injury. It can be those special gifts of ones actions that make it all worth it. Let’s share a message of hope and determination for all to hear. Together we can chance the face of brain injury in upcoming years. Hosted by Lee Carlson

Isis keeps this booth so clean - maybe she can call with a Holiday Cheer for our society. Getting my health back, if not my heart. And Christmas on TOP OF MY TREE of life, well let's just say it's pretty Holliday Free Zone in the Downttown Milton Studio. Under slow repairs, roof leaking terribly, much to do. But let's promote Awareness, conquors and divisions of a Brain Injured Mind over the Season of gifts, family, hugs, lost, forgetfulness and total confusion. If you're early in the TBI 'game', it will happen, how distinct and how hurtful is unseen, but the joy of seeing, experiencing is a memory to endure. As well as the door out of the confusion. Find safety, calmness and perhaps a new video game of your cousins. Nothing wrong with being alone, since we are each day in our thoughts, but do take the time to experience the entire Christmas for all, remember strongly - Christmas isn't JUST ABOUT YOU. (OK, so your time out to break away is about you. So don't allow an individual who never spends time with you but once a year, figure 'things out' for you. Over all, be where YOU are HAPPY and CALM. Moving around halts being entrapped and lets the event share to you.... Merry Christmas, Kawanza, Hanuka or when perhaps Budda was born day... Your life, you've earned it - twice at least.

We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Dennis Simsek is better known as The Anxiety Guy. He is the creator of a self-help podcast which finds the cause of anxiety for each of us. After that, his goal is to help find a way to permanently reduce these life stressors. He has a passionate commitment in helping to guide people to a place where they can permanently relinquish their fears. He believes coaching is more than just talking. The process is an intimate partnership between the coach and individual to guide each person to defy their fears. He wants us to go from looking at the world as a dangerous place, to feeling a sense of calm and gratitude each and everyday, as we create awareness around the main causes of anxiety for each individual. His personal journey began from a life full of avoidance (people due to the fear of a long conversation that would trigger panicky bodily sensations, crowded or confined places because of a fear of intense dizziness followed by a visit to the emergency room, and walks in public due to the feelings of depersonalization and derealization.) He is now the creater of the award-winning podcast "The Anxiety Guy" to help others.

Mon, 03 Dec 2018 01:30:00 +0000

What do Football & CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) have to do with Cyndy Feasel, Mary Seau, & Debra Pyka? They all lost loved ones to football and CTE. Cyndy's husband, Grant Feasel, and Mary's brother, Jr. Seau each were NFL players who died because of repetitive concussions on the field. Debra's son, who was much younger, also died of CTE from his football years. These women will have a lot to say about football and their uneccesary losses. 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.

Recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 01:30:00 +0000

All of a sudden, anyone who is connected to a Brain Injury, their life becomes a little MoCrazy. A Brain Injury does shut some doors, but it also opens doors. This show will be talking to survivors, caregivers, therapists, anyone immediately involved with a Brain Injury to learn different ways to overcome this struggle and walk through new doors. Every single person who had a Brain Injury has new doors opened for them, take a leap of faith and walk through those doors. On Nov.25 I will be interviewing Mark Macialek the founder of https://recoveringfromtbi.com Marc is a life-coach for Traumatic Brain Injury survivors. The “you” post-TBI really wants to get back to the “you” pre-TBI. You feel frustrated, powerless, and maybe even angry. You feel like you’re at the mercy of your brain. Whether you heal completely or not is an uncertainty that gnaws at you. You feel like you went from an iPhone X back to the original from 2007. You have put your goals on hold and wonder whether you will be able to achieve them. Every TBI is different. How fast and how much every TBI survivor recovers is different. It is a bumpy road. But there are things you can do to smooth it out. Even looking down the road and noticing the bumps can just help you prepare for them.

The Giving Plant on Surviving Head Trauma with Terry Smith

Fri, 23 Nov 2018 03:00:00 +0000

There is an unquestionable opioid overdose crisis happening at this moment. Greed keeps Big Pharma prisoner to shareholders and makes them dealers to people who pay to kill their pain. This episode is about marijuana and it’s plethora of uses. Research is increasingly proving the case that marijuana is not a “gateway” schedule 1 drug, but indeed a virtual medical cure-all for mental and physical wellbeing. Tonight, we’ll talk about living with it compared to living without it and the effects it has on not only the patient, but the caregivers and loved ones. Mike Robinson: “It seems every day someone will share yet another success story with me in which they too have found some type of relief from Cannabis that their prescription medications simply would not give. For some it’s migraines and body aches and for others it’s about stopping seizures, killing cancers, and so much more. The versatile cannabis plant has amazing abilities with it’s hundreds of components literally filled with many of nature’s essential oils, or terpenes, that have intensive healing powers. Many overlook these and tend to concentrate on the THC/CBD debates, others have reached a tad deeper down the Cannabinoid Medicine rabbit hole and found quite a few ways to give ourselves the relief we need.” Mike will be our guest for a discussion on marijuana. Listen LIVE online (link below), phone, satellite radio, or Skype. We stream to all 50 states and 36 countries. If you miss the LIVE show, you can listen to the archived episode on the same link or at www. TerrySmithBooks. com.

The Matt Duffin Show - Being Thankful Should Be A Giving...

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Jack Frost brough over an early cake for Thanksgiving - with MORE than enough ICING... Indiana was the opposite of California Fires this week, and myself or the house couldn't withstand the cold, no-electricty breaking of tree's in my neighborhood. My daughter scooped me up, and away I went THANKFULLY with Sadi and Andy. I have (had) cats, she has dogs and cats. It was a 2-Dog Night and 1 Kitty. Back home last night, adjusting. Jennifer moved back to Alabama two weeks ago, with her bird Max in tow. Infact, "the whole shooting match" seems to have ended just before the Holidays. Two TBI's minus One TBI equals A TBI being involved. Maybe she'll call. TMDS phone calling number is (424) 243-9540 to talk, listen, or program your new phone.. The Studio is being broken down, but still 'try's' to work before its REFRESHED. Bare with us, Music or not - we can still talk. I just don't get to do that as much now (F_CK_TEXT_CHAT), society needs to communicate. My Survivors should lead the way. (yes, I'm right behind you.)

Another Fork in the Road: Survivor, Kuna Williams: Life after Brain Injury

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 01:30:00 +0000

Kuna Williams' life changed when he was involved in a motorcycle accident. Kuna says that he learned from his rehab time that, “Things Take Time. Don’t rush things, but keep trying." That is great advice! Tune in to hear more of Kuna's words of wisdom that he learned after his brain injury. 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! To learn more about me, please visit my blogs and websites.

Civility is lacking and the need for people with courage to discuss this in an open foremat is needed.

Too much of a good thing can be...well, too much. Our senses, touch, taste, sound, sight, and feel offer us a plethora of experiences. Many are pleasurable. Some are not.

Doing something for the TBI community - We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 02 Nov 2018 02:00:00 +0000

"...Someday, I will help all the survivors I can," Emily Annis tells me. It looks to me like she's done it! She began a website for the brain injured community (9 years after her accident) with Michelle Munt (a European blogger) in April of this year. During this time, they have gone from <100 to just under 3000 members. It's hard to get an exact number as the upper bound changes daily. The logo on the front page of the group says: The group is: Brain Injury & Mental Health Support Group. (This is) A group for Brain Injury Survivors, their families and caregivers from anywhere in the world. This aim of this group is for us to support each other by sharing stories & ideas. This is a safe place where we understand each other & can help one another. She became interested in beginning this site after a pontine stroke. (That is a bleed of the brain stem that few people survive.) She was left with her entire body paralyzed with damage to virtually all of her cranial nerves, especially on the left. However, it is a testiment to her character that she didn't let that stop her, and went on to create this site that benefits thousands of people. Tonight we will talk about her injury, her current status and Brain Injury & Mental Health Support Group. Any questions or Comments, please call in

Prisoners without bars

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Donna is the host of the Podcast “Another Fork in the Road” on the Brain Injury Radio Network. I was interviewing on her show last year which is what developed into me having a show. Donna is the caregiver of a person who had a brain injury. Donna has a blog called Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury https://survivingtraumaticbraininjury.com and she has just become the author of “Prisoners Without Bar” A story about a Brain Injury Caregivers experience. **Prisoners without bars is heart-wrenching and triumphant love story is a tale of advocacy and caregiving. Donna's husband, David, stumbled into their bedroom, his hand covering a blood-filled eye from a brain hemorrhage. Donna called 9-1-1. David slipped into a coma. At that moment, Donna was thrust onto the path of caregiver for her best friend and the love of her life. In her debut memoir, Donna shares how a neurosurgeon said that David would make a "great organ donor." She writes of arrogant doctors, uncaring visitors, insensitive ambulance drivers, and problematic nurses. She also tells of the many compassionate doctors, nurses, therapists, staff, strangers, family members, and friends who helped them on their journey. Donna compellingly describes her ability to appear positive as she experiences the horror of making life-or-death decisions. As her world crashes, she credits laughter as her lifesaver. More than thirteen years later, Donna and David are living a "new normal" together.**

I first met Julie Rake, , when she was the Keynote Speaker at the Brain Injury Alliance of Arizona (BIAAZ) 2018 Rays of Hope. She spoke on a favorite topic of mine -- Meditation. Julie has been practicing meditation for more than 15 years. 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."

Dream Catchers proudly presents a new series called the intimacy hour hosted by Cheryl Lyle Co hosted by our regular host Les Paul Morgan Cheryl Lyle is a passionate peer support specialist,mentor,and disability civil rights advocate due to the fact that she too has a disability. Cheryl has faced many of the same challenges and struggles that each one of us in the disabled community has faced or will face in the future. Cheryl who has cerebral palsy has been lucky enough to have not gone through those struggles alone,she was married yes married for 44 years to an amazing man who wanted to see change in how the disabled were treated especially when it came to being in a relationship,being married and having a family. We all should have the same rights as Quote Normal people. It is our hope that this show will educate and enlighten those in our government who are making important changes and dissisions that are hurting relationships and families across this country. we hope also to educate the medical community that yes even the disabled can have fulfilling SEX! Yes I said it SEX! SO tune in and see What 's in store for all of us as we learn from one another. Rember being disabled just means we may have to do some things differently. Sometimes different can be amazing... Some of the topics we will will be discussing will be advocating for the removal of the the federal marriage penalty, when desire and disability collide, making it on a 2 person disability income and much more!!!

"Mess With MS" with host Lisa Dryer and guest Catherine Rose Blandino

Sun, 14 Oct 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Tonight we are going to talk about speech complications suffered by 20-40% of MSers. My name is Lisa Dryer and I have been on the Brain Injury Radio Network as a guest and on panel shows, and as a host here on my show "Mess With MS".From my first interview I have said that my outlook on life would be “, Find the beauty around you and stay calm.” That is where my movement #MSbeautiful came from. While it is important to acknowledge our MS or BI it is also important to remember to RELAX when we can! To Have Fun! To try to learn new coping mechanisms and to try to meet and communicate with the important or sometimes new people in our lives! M.S. is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. When I discovered that I was diagnosed with it, it changed my life. Through friendship, family, spirituality, and the many M.S. role models I had, I began to beat back the monster of this disease. Therein, I opened up my life to a journey of adventure: Learning things any normal person can do to enhance their lives after MS&brain injury. Please call into 424 243 9540!!!!

The Prison in My Head .. Needing Help to Escape

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 02:00:00 +0000

So many times we know what we want and desire we have lost the way we used to communicate, no one understands us now. Talk about ways we can get out the prison we find ourselves in, our-self. We need to learn how this new self ticks and communicate and enjoy all that life has to offer. Sometimes life just seems to be in slow motion and we are stuck behind a glass room where we cannot get out or anyone get in. And we just watch life pass us by. It is time to break these walls down and live again.

TOMMY MANNING MEMORIAL SHOW

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Tommy was known by many, but few had anything to do with him. Me and Tommy would talk every weekend or everyother weekend. He was always thinking and involved somewhere. The last couple of years he didn/t feel welcome in his home support group and was asked to leave at the last christmas party he went to. We were in process and will still do it now more than ever launch a support group that felt welcoming to survivors at all levels. Tommy was unique, a ball of fire at times but always tommy/ Call in and share your stories of Tommy and his life with the listeners out there.

The Matt Duffin Show: Our 7th Season - Helping You, Helping Me...

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Politics over for now, us brain injury folks always lead the way (when we are listened to). Breaking 'set' mold formed by a 'few' GOP-for-all people (and they call them normal, not us! wild, huh?) before the elections. You've read many, I HAD to produce more. I've read a few PM's along the way. Can you believe the murdous stalker! Do your work, investigate and report. FB and REAL police if needed - these people are messing with are slow, understanding minds - DON'T BE BRAINWASHED! I don't know if Kavanaugh, or his wife was named a whore - don't really care. Shit happens (thus Ex-#3), I discovered along lifes journey. You and I have LIVES to survive. Forward is next and Behind us didn't have the ending we wished for. Thus, today is our day, and tomorrow our favorite day! I've been on break, but tried working with TBI interest on FB, but because of my 'affiliation', I've been FB'd to nearly death and seizures abound - plus my ass hurt. Little Doc, Big Mean Foot! I've even heard "there are thousands of vet's, and we all have issues as we get older." A few words on that - "Fuck You - get a life, we're enjoying ours the best we know how too..." (424) 243-9540 call in or listen in, same number. Gonna try this CPU out again - bare with TMDS @ The Downtown Milton Studio, please. We're a little bit country, and a little bit Rock N Roll. Jen's on her way back, should be here as we discuss her trip 'down south', life as is and never will be. But, you should of stopped fantasizing in Jr. High. (unless it is about me - roll the tape!)

Another Fork in the Road: What is "New Normal after Brain Injury?" Panel

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Getting used to a "new normal" is not easy. Some survivors of brain injury and their caregivers never do adjust to a "new normal." Many survivors and caregivers SPEAK OUT! about their "new normal." 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!

Dream Catchers with Les Paul Morgan - Over Powering the Pain BIRN

Wed, 03 Oct 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Imagine having several very rare and unusual brain surgeries to save you life and your Doctors words hours before Brain surgery were him telling you that with this new procedure you will never have severe head pain again ever!. I was hurting like crazy when he said that and went through several crazy unbelievable operations only to live in constant pain in my brain almost every single Day since the Day my operations were finished until right now this very minute since December 1984 and yet here I am still alive and surviving many years later and that’s my great hope for you can too. If you’re in pain I’m sorry that you have it. If you feel down and out I can totally understand how bad you must feel and if you feel like giving up I can totally understand that feeling but I will turn to you and say loudly to you how dare you for allowing yourself to give up or surrender because failure is not an option because as I type this in the blood, sweat and tears of great pain I say hold on and lets come together and work to find solutions to defeat the isolating brain numbing pain that many brain injury, brain aneurism survivors and many other chronic pain survivors struggle sand fight with just to keep our sanity on a daily basis!!! It’s time to talk about what we all do to help relive ourselves from severe pain or way to help prevent it from happening in the first place!

Breasts, Toxic Mold, and Cannabis on Surviving Head Trauma with Terry Smith

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Making body adjustments is popular today. We make a shift here, a pull there, snip, snip, clip, implant. We’re happy. Fortunately, most of these procedures go without flaw. Unfortunately, the exception to that norm is that they have the potential to be fatal. This episode is about a survivor who went through a team of doctors telling her that they could not find the cause of her complaints. Through a turn of twists, she learned that her breast implants were filled with mold and had leaked into her body. The results were extensive, even neurological. Tonight, we’ll talk with her and hear her story. In the second segment, we’ll talk with a renowned Medical Doctor about recognizing and resolving mold issues with the human body. Tali Kentof, CEO of Wild Dog Botanicals, will share her 8-year battle with breast augmentation and the consequences of leaking mold into her body. Her journey through a maze of body awareness led to her discovery of plant-based alternatives to pharmaceuticals. www. WildDogma. com Janet Taylor, MD, MPH, Columnist for Family Circle Magazine – “Ask Dr. Janet.” She is also frequently featured on ABC “Good Morning America” and NBC “The Today Show” and CNN.

I'm Not a Pessimist with Nich Dee

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

"I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist" After thinking for a long time I was a glass half empty kind of person, I learned from my Neuropsychologist, I'm actually a realist. What's the difference? Looking at situations and always having a plan or two ready in case something doesn't go according to expectations. And with a brain injury, I can find that happening a lot. Think worst case scenario planning. I think so far ahead and I like to have everything figured out before I can be surprised. Is it unhealthy? Maybe, consuming? It can be, but I am definitely the one you want to go to when things don't go according to plan. We will also talk about negative self talk and how a positive attitude helps to get things done. Call in and tell me how you cope with the reality.

Life is strange - everything is political

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Life is strange, then you add what is going on in our political system, you think its just there but it effects everyone, for instance the lies some tell, like the me 2 movement, I think people who touch, force, abuse anyone should be taken to a island and left there to fight for survivor with the rest of their likes but we put them back into the community. I don’t know what percentage of accusations are lies but they are used to manipulate things, businesses and people. It is destroying the credibility of something that really needs fixing.. You say what does this have to do with brain injury, number one brain injury is ran by Lawyers if you look around, the same people who hold political offices. Their tactics our used to provide services for people with disability. There are some wonderful people providing great thing for people, some. Many are there to make money, build a name for themselves and only to hold power over others and move up on whatever mental ladder they think their claiming. All over the country academia are indoctrinating our young or trying and no longer are thinkers. There are very few great discussions of sides and principles as well as innovative ideas. Many ideas are stolen from their students or the community then brought in as their ideas. The elite no matter who they are or what they do are only out for themselves and destroy many great potential ideas. It is up to people with disability to save our great country, the services that many need. We need to work on understanding, compassion, acceptance and open minds. Right now, we are in a civil war and divided. I remember Hillary saying to Donald if I win will you accept it because that’s how we do it as Americans. Again she lied. They all lie we must fix this or parish with our country.

Continue Mission with Captain (Retired) James McCormick (US Regulator)

Sat, 08 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Our guests tonight will dive into the life and times of the 518th Combat Gun Truck Company, a provisional unit formed in the Iraq war. The U.S. Regulators of the 518th was a hard running, tough gunning unit in the Iraq war that made history with the reputation they gained among the convoys they protected and also earned the fear of the enemy who they consistently engaged and destroyed all over the Iraqi theater of operation from 2004-2005 until the unit was shut down mainly due to its fierce reputation and the inability of one logistical command unit that simply couldn’t understand or embrace the warrior ethos concept that this unit maintains to the day through its unofficial organization of Regulator Veterans of the 518th. Less than 200 Americans can claim the title of US Regulator and to this day we fiercely defend our reputation and tell the truth of the Regulators mission and the exceptional and often unrecognized Gallantry that the members of this unit displayed on a daily basis as we fought our way through areas that very few would tread in order to protect life, military cargo and blaze a path of freedom for the Iraqi people that to this day still exists as they continue to elect leaders and regain a level of peace within their country. The Regulators, gunslingers and soldiers that truly exemplified the spirit of Teddy Roosevelts’ Rough Riders and the Young Guns mentality, won every battle and delivered the goods on time, every time.

Neuropsychology on We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld, DC

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Dr. Heidi Haavik, a speaker, chiropractic researcher, and neurophysiologist will discuss how the brain and body communicate via the spine. There is a constant flow of information between the brain and body through the superhighway-like structure of the spinal cord. When both the brain and body are healthy, this pathway is precise and specifically laid out. In the case of a brain trauma, this pathway is anything but a straight line. A Dr. must work with the pieces that are still available, causing them to work at their maximum output efficiency. Since the human form is so amazingly complex, the recovery process is more than just a straight line. Dr. Haavik will speak about some of these interconnections and the effects that can occur at various stages. If a segment is damaged through the wear-and-tear of daily life or in the case of a tbi, through an immediate, overwhelming force, the body ceases interaction with the brain, causing a temporory breakdown in the precise 2-way communication through our nervous system. There is (among other problems) pain and temperature regulation issues, sensory irregularities or physical weaknesses/paralysis. Fixing the segment (through surgery or chiropractic) will help resolve (permanently or partially) these dysfunctions. Through it all, though, there remains some communication; and this neurophysiological research points to a better understanding of how the conversation works. Since most of us (here) are in recovery from a tbi, or know someone who is, a basic understanding can make clear what aspects are involved and what we can personally do to help improve this information flow.

The Matt Duffin Show - Laboring Labor Day - Part VI

Mon, 03 Sep 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Positive. Be positive. So, I will positively come back tonight, for a bit and say "Hey Y'all, what's going on?" but rearrangements not complete, either. Not feeling so well, but better. Best to say something, anything, and at least hope the music system plays. Jennifer is drained from the looooooooong Indiana summer, but I promise she'll be perky!

Another Fork in the Road: Survivors Needs - Caregivers Needs (from each other)

Mon, 03 Sep 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Survivors have many needs from their caregivers and their caregivers provide them. But, Caregivers have needs too. It's a symbiotic relationshhip. Lisa Dryer and I will take comments from listeners to find out what their needs are. 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!

Blastology # Dr. Calapai, fight the good fight and stem cells.

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Last month I flew to NY to have my own stem cells reinjected into my body. the results have been nothing short of unbelieveable. Reduction in pain, imporvements in everything from mood to anxiety. It is simple, durable and come with no side effects. Stem Cells the answer to a math probelm, when your body has more damage than capacity to make repairs, a downward spiral of consequences emerge with no hope for recovery. If you give th body what it needs, time, energy, and materials, it will make repairs. Stem cell treatmets are the most promising modality to treat blast related TBI ever invented.

Depression and Coping Skills on the Matt Duffin Show

Mon, 20 Aug 2018 02:00:00 +0000

As live happen, things do not always go the way we planned. Sometimes it just seems like everything can go wrong. Losing hope is one of the main causes for isolation and depression. As we move around inside a society of what everyone like to think as typical or normal many survivors look that typical part but inside things are different for many we dont even recognize our self, friends, family and other look at us as the old person when all the time there is this new person fighting to be known and seen. But they cannot understand it or accept it in many cases. I am going to share my recent journey, a surgry coming up, my internet not working, and being avoided by various people. It just gets the better of me often times, and catches up. I am going to share how i cope and what helps me get through each day, oh heck sometimes its minute by minute, I think we need to realize the greatness inside of each one of us. We need to cut our self a break and realize the great tryumps just to get out of bed with someone we didn't pick or even want. To have the energy and strength to carry on truly shows that we have become strong and powerful, it is not us it is everyone else. That is why brain injury is a civil rights movement, one more neccassary that equal right we are fighting for our exsistance - for society to realize who we are, that we are here and to accept that we are here and not a mental disorder.

Carole Starr has been living with her brain injury for almost 20 years. It was a game changer. A motor vehicle accident sent her on another fork in the road. Carole says though she misses aspects of her life before her brain injury, she has made helping other survivors her passion. Carole is the author of To Root and To Rise. 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.

Criminal Injustice on the Matt Duffin Show!

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Tonight's episode on 'Crimminal Injustice - Who is really Brain Injured?" has been postponed, as has a 'certain' court date. (if they can wait, I can wait. Job handed me his book to read while I was in God's waiting room.. Depression takes a back seat this week; why strip others of their good nature? So while we are waiting for yet another offering from a wronged system, and preparing for Trauma #4 (or is it 5? Six!! Geesh), I woke up with love and tenderness on my heart and a grin on my face. No need in feeling 'glomy' when the sun is shining. Therefore, as a Brain Injury Copiing Skill subject tonight, let's skip stress management skills for now, and jump right in to common adult conversation - SEX!! Or more common place in the BI world, 'the lack there of'. The changes emothionally, psychologically; if not physical. Sexual behaviors (yes, unfortunately, some horrific) and desires. Another 'change of life' encountered, but can be overtaken with love, respect, and my favorite - repeaded practice. Or we can talk about what you wish - but this ol' bartender will get our conversation going talking about sex! On BI Radio too boot! Well also have the Trauma Sports Segment, give an update on TMDS Band contract negociatgions and remind everyone the East Central Indiana Brain Injury Support Group meets Tuesday at the Milton Christian Church, beginning at 6:30. Now that's something to get excited about!!!!

Massage away your pain and anxiety at We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld

Fri, 03 Aug 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Cyndi Combs is a massage therapist. Every day, she sees people whose main complaint is that they are pushing themselves too hard. Whether its physical, mental, or a combination of the 2, her job is to help her clients to relax. She believes she can do that best by encouraging everyone to find fun ways to increase their overall well-being. We all know that if something is fun, we are more likely to want to do it, and do it longer and more often. Therefore, if this bodywork is fun, people will look forward to it. Her passions are empowering people to create happier lives, and to motivate them to live up to their own intentions for improved physical health and spiritual well-being. She does this by advocating the practice of relaxation and happiness to relieve stress and add joy to life. As well as having these goals to encourage the body, she also finds these principles at the basis of her current training for life coaching. As a healer, she looks at each individual as more than a mass of flesh, she believes we can have our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies touched and profoundly impacted. She believes we can each benefit from her spiritual approach to bodywork. She integrates intuitive touch and positive energy flow with the technical skills she learned in massage school. The results are lasting and valuable. Cyndi Combs has lived in Vallejo, CA for 36 years and has practiced massage for over 10 of them. As one of the busiest and most respected massage therapists in Vallejo, Cyndi earned the award “Best Massage Therapist" from the local newspaper several times running.

"Mess With MS" with host Lisa Dryer and guest Mike Foore

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 00:30:00 +0000

MS is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. When I discovered that I was diagnosed with it, it changed my life. I only knew to continue approaching life the way I always had: as a survivor! That does not imply that I did not make mistakes along the way - as people do when the road they thought they were taking in their life turns into a new one. Through friendship, family, spirituality, and the many MS role models I had, I began to beat back the monster of this disease. Their in, I opened up my life to a journey of adventure: Learning things any normal person can do to enhance their lives after MS&brain injury. My guest tonight Mike Foore is an amazing guy when it comes to being a fast talker. practicle joker, and funny guy. Listen to him pride himself on being someone with the spirit to not give up. He is a second generation MS Warrior, so I'd assume that the fighting spirit is built in to him! The will to fight and survive is a wonderful gift! Let's talk to Mike! Mike is an MS advocate and (perhaps?) used to work for the National MS Society in Cayahoga County, Ohio! Tune IN! Call in at (424) 243-9540 at 5:30pm PST, 6:30pm Mountain, and 8:30pm Eastern To listen and to talk to us!

Making Connections with Nich Dee

Mon, 16 Jul 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Being brain injured sometimes makes it tough to understand what our family and loved ones are saying. Understanding what is actually being said is difficult for most adults, but someone who has communication troubles will find it even tougher. When our loved ones get frustrated that "we just don't get it" and say "never mind", we usually have no idea what just happened. Interpreting body language, reading between the lines and listening carefully are all important skills in forging new pathways in social settings. How do you know someone is interested in you? Can you tell what signals are being sent? We will explore these things and hopefully give survivors some new hope in reading people like a book.

Another Fork in the Road: with Brain Injury Survivor, Jim Ledgewood

Mon, 16 Jul 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Jim was out for a night of relaxation and entertainment. He was minding his own business when he was shot with a 9mm bullet in the side of his face. (The bullet is still lodged in Jim's head.) One can only imagine how Jim survived, but survive he did. Jim will share his story wih us, tell how his life has changed, and how he's coping with his challenges. 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."

Most not evern realizing that brain injury is the number one cause of death and disabilities in children and adults under 40. Most doctors and emergency are able to recognize or treat this silent sinister disability. People walking through life trying to fit into society. But it is hard to fit in when your friends and family look at you and cannot seem to understand why this person they remember so well seems so different. The effects of war the loss of ones self, with a pain so great and deep, and the hurt that you feel as you try to be what everyone remembers you to be. The person that everyone misses so much, the one that keeps many from moving into the future little alone accepting the present. Find out how we are helping veterans learn and accept this new person. To live a life designed by their own hopes and dreams. To create a person who they can love and share with the world and theri community. We hope to have some guests on that will share some of the amazing work they are doing to do just that. Help build hope and meaningful lifes. Creating hope for a better tomorrow for everyone. More awareness has happened in the last 10 year that all years before about brain injury. As it has been the signiture wound of our returning soldiers.

"Mess With MS" with host Lisa Dryer and Chuck Kimball

Sun, 15 Jul 2018 00:30:00 +0000

MS is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. When I discovered that I was diagnosed with it, it changed my life. I only knew to continue approaching life the way I always had: as a survivor! That does not imply that I did not make mistakes along the way - as people do when the road they thought they were taking in their life turns into a new one. Through friendship, family, spirituality, and the many M.S. role models I had, I began to beat back the monster of this disease. Their in, I opened up my life to a journey of adventure: Learning things any normal person can do to enhance their lives after MS&brain injury. My guest tonight Chuck Kimball has a remarkable story. Listen to his amazing tale. It reminds me that life has many twists and turns and as MS warriors and those with BI and other issues we always need to stay on our toes and be ready to fight -- AND WIN! Call in at (424) 243-9540

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Livia Thompson is a holistic practioner who has had the experience of 14 years in the medical field. She believes there is connection between the mind and the body, and by influencing one aspect, we can see positive changes in various areas. This effect is so powerful, there are changes in the biological, spiritual, and psychological manifestations. She powerfully effects these various systems by working through Reiki. That is her application is to the physical body, but the effects are seen in the energy and emotional aspect of the subject person. It is impossible to work so closely with the concrete body without influencing the abstract being. She has spent time with various subjects which influence her work. She has investigated mindfulness meditation (through the UCLA IPP program), Reiki practice and Master Teacher (in the Fairfield, CA area), Healing Touch, and she is the Chronic Disease Self Management Program Facilitator (Univ. of Stanford) for the Solano County Dept. of Aging. She radiates Healing Energy and my conversations with her have allowed me to see that she is a solid practioner who inspires trust and confidence.

Here’s part 4 of Another Fork in the Road: Dealing with Anger & Denial Post Brain Injury with panelists, Bob Millsap, Jeannette Davidson-Mayer, and Lisa Dryer – and of course, Me. 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."

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 02:00:00 +0000

I'm a LOT of things, yet primarily baseball holds me all together. It's my mind's SAFE SPOT. With a rattled or bursted brain, we need a safe spot. Over the last six years, BrainInjuryRadio.Com (org) has become my safe spot. 7-nighta week it became a comfort zone for my society of brain 'issues'. I fell in love, not with my mic or playlist, but my guests, my attempt to pass along coping and hoping skills for my BI sisters and brothers. My father, my origonal Co-Host, passed on yet with me every day. Has to be, or I don't.... It was BAD once before, well, a few times before, then the magic Milton word "WALA" we battled together thru it all. Nursing home stays, death, hospital after hospital for various reasons, yet 10 years later here I am. I didin't mean too, was discoverd giving great effort to the TBI folks around Indiana. Courage from given efforst became nationally recognized in the brain injury survival world. I'm just me. During my time on BIRN, I've at least a trio of serious accesdents as well, Kim limped with me over the air. The hospital stays, pre-surgeries1, Neuro Phsyc talks and Conference galore - My recorder went with me. I met Deborah Betty, fell for Jennifer Goodman after Craig Sicilia offered me an opertunity to lift and educate our world. He trusts, he's the Lord's Gift to Brain Survival. SO many listeners from around the world became friends, literally - last count TMDS reached into 68 countries. Taking some medical time off Doc says I'll need rest (What, me argue?) We'll have new hosts coming. I'll do a few, plug in a replay of life with a TBI. Just a routine Sunday Night BIRN schedual :) Call In 10 pm - 2 am Downtown Milton Studio's (424) 243-9540...Yep a FREE # to call.

Surgery number one was the next day.

My mother is also a survivor. Hers did not rupture but she did experience the clipping surgery. Because of all of this Aneurysm experience I have been on a very large tirade for Aneurysm Awareness. I am a volunteer for The Brain Aneurysm Foundation having gone to Washington DC three different years begging National Legislators to pass different laws and/or Resolutions that they file. I’ve also come back down to Indiana and done the same thing here which has gotten me a seat on the board of the Brain Injury Association of Indiana.

The Matt Duffin Show - Social Media; The Evil With In

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 02:00:00 +0000

The wonderment of FB and Twitter. It can be presidential, family, friends and pure bullcrap. I endorse us survivors "getting back in the grove" even though the record skips. Do it again and again, be strong in your convections and don't commit crimes. That IS how we learn, uh, how do I say this, uh..."Peat and Repeat" hands on. On Line gems such as Facebook or Twitter are a way to talk with the world, but the world isn't quite ready for us. You're too smart, too confusing and just again, too smart. But no one beleives you, Brain Injury and Dememsia, Strokes and the like are not in their world - they have no conception. Before your invovlement with Brain Injury, did you know how it REALLY excisted? Horrible, lost and alone. Yep, that's what our Care Givers life becomes too. It's a weird and wild world succeeding with a TBI, but it can be done. You'll make mistake after mistake, yet eventually you will discover a way of communication, wrong or right. It's your opion on much, so you are right. Jen is by my side, and together you get a double dose of Brain Injury Survivors. You'll learn, you'll understand a lot about BI's, many are within my finger tips. Let's talk enjoyable, eduactional processes your computer brings you, we can also discuss the hell. The TMDS break time in 3 weeks. I'll be around, just cutting back to see if my health improves. And Miracle League Baseball is around the corner, so I just have to learn how to walk! But as an Angel walking God's green earth, where He wants you to be, always remember Angels don't hang out with the Devil... (424) 243-9540 to call us.

We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld - DrD

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 02:00:00 +0000

In today's fast-paced society, we are all running and scrambling to maintain our equilibrium and remain at our highest personal level. Ellen Simonin will be on the show to answer questions about the role stress plays in our daily lives and the ways we deal with everyday anxiety. She currently serves as an educator for a healthcare company - pharmanex. They teach personal responsibility for our healthcare choices. Ms. Simonin has done some counseling in the field as a stress manager. In this area, she addresses the individual triggers for a less than healthy response, and helps us incorporate new strategies to deal more effectively with life. Since this is something all humans experience to a certain degree, we can all benefit from her advice to live a happier and healthier life. One way to maintain our highest personal lifestyle is to monitor our level of antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in our bodies that are caused by toxins in our food, air, other environmental sources, and stress. Antioxidants are found naturally in the darker fruits and veggies. People may eat a diet rich in antioxidants, but if the debris of undigested fiber and/or food additives has collected in the filtering organs, even the best food and supplements cannot get through. This also applies to digestive problems such as IBS, Colitis, or Diverticulosis. Thus to manage stress, we have to both eat and live correctly.

Another Fork in the Road: Dealing with Anger & Denial Post Brain Injury

Mon, 07 May 2018 00:30:00 +0000

This is a continuation of the March 4th, 2018 show. Anger and denial are two emotions that many brain injury survivors and their caregivers experience, and it's not surprising. Brain injury tears so many lives apart. In an instant, lives change and often can never be put back together again. Two caregivers, Bob Millsap and Jeannette Davidson-Mayer and survivor, Lisa Dryer join me to alk about how they and their survivors keep these strong emotions in line. 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! To learn more about me, please visit my blogs.

This show, with special Guest Lauren Messmer, MBA, will explore the experience of 1 person after a devastating accident. I will talk with Lauren about her particular experience and the ripple effects in her later life. I found it interesting talking to Lauren a few weeks ago. We were talking about business and she did not start off the conversation telling me about her head injury, as many of us survivers find ourselves doing. However, it is very present in her life. She is currently a branding expert in her business. As such, she helps each of us explore what makes us stand out from the rest. She empathizes with the boss and the workers in a business and values collaboration and making everyone safe and happy. She learned this skill as a child growing up in the operation of food preparation, and she fit all her future life experiences into that framework. She is adventurous and believes there are multiple ways of living life. She has found her particular path and wants to help each of us do the same.

The Matt Duffin Show - Cut Back, Not Sit Back...

Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:00:00 +0000

At a 'spry' 48-year old man, suddenly I was 'sent to work' after my Brain Injury. Sports writing gigs, I'd be ok. For two years, I was, uh, OK. The Western Wayne News worked so hard in my recovery process, a process we all didn't quite understand - yet. Year 2, I 'retired' from Butler University Sports, and after HS Baseball, my brain was drained. My SPL Joni Goins found me at her door, she recreated a nice guy inside this monster. But the moster finds cracks to peek thru. But Joni got me going. John Hiatt crowned me in so many Natural Reaction Oddity's with a calming explanations that mattered... Enter stronger therapy, State funded research, Neuro's after Neuro's. School and info on Brain Injury became my life. It remains, and I enjoy passing along Coping Skills, Life Skills, Guests, Co Hosts, Jennifer and of course Lefty. 9-years and hopping right along, Lefty. You the listeners have been my personal growth and understandings, and love. I asked God one time, if there is a reason for me to live, allow me to wipe the frowns off BI Survivors family and freinds faces. Man, what an image a person coming out of a comma see's and try's to think, in so many directions. I spent 4 1/2 years under the direction of RHI's Neuro Center, and the Dr. Lisa Thompson Family Center found a 'wayward dog out side, wagging his tail'. I loved and learned life again, and will never loose it. Cutting The Matt Duffin Show back for health reasons, offering new voices to hear. It's YOUR Sunday night, you created it, please live it comfortably. 10-years this summer, I went "boom'. You've been in surgery with me, in Nursing Homes, Recovery Centers, Colorado, Chicago, Las Vegas and DOWNTOWN MILTON STUDIOS...

Time Heals All Wounds .. Except TBI with Nich Dee

Wed, 11 Apr 2018 02:00:00 +0000

"Time heals all wounds (except TBIs)." This is an antiquated phrase, but is it applicable now with the number of TBI survivors and the new medical advancements that are out there? I think it is what you choose to do with that time that makes the difference. Since it never heals entirely, our every day choices can make our TBI easier and seem almost like it has been cured. I have been a survivor for 27 years and I still discover new things almost weekly that are more difficult due to the brain injury. It's time to get rid of the resentment of the brain injury and start adapting because it's not going to go away. Hosted by Nich Dee

Life Gets MoCrazy-"what do I do now" Phoenix Concussion Recovery

Mon, 09 Apr 2018 00:30:00 +0000

I met Lauren Ziaks when she was working with the U.S. Ski Team at the Center of Excellence in Park CIty, Utah. She was a physical trainer and I was a competitor. Life went on and some things changed. We both had different types of Brain Injuries that made us realize how little is known about the brain and brain injuries. Lauren will teach how people need to know their options and treatments for all different forms of brain injury. “Research on the brain is surging. The United States and the European Union have launched new programs to better understand the brain. The growing body of data (on the brain) represents a paradox of progress, with the advances also highlighting great gaps in understanding.” ( NY Times) There are many gaps in brain injury awareness and rehabilitation options. Lauren is tackling one of those gaps. Lauren is the president of Phoenix Concussion Recovery: Phoenix Concussion Recovery Over the course of the podcast talk on April 8th we will be discussing what Phoenix recovery is, who they help, how they help their patients, and ways you can take the practices Phoenix Concussion Recovery teaches and implement they into your life. Throgh out this talk the listerner will be able to learn about early therapy options, treatments for delayed healing, and how to return to life and sports with a program to help you effectively and efficiently.

We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld - DrD

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 02:00:00 +0000

This show has a panel of 4 guests, each of whom experienced a different trauma under a special set of circumstances. They will discuss how their injury affects them daily, as well as how they each deal with their individual world. These 4 persons have different coping strategies to go on with their lives, and we will explore these distinctive choices in this episode. The 4 panelists come from different walks of life, and each has their own individual surrounding story. The 1st is Holliday Cullimore who is plagued with frequent debilitating headaches. These episodes impact her life frequently and dealing with them requires set aside time and effort; during the rest of the day, she attends local cultural and intellectual events to expand and/or share her knowledge. Then there is Shannon Marie Hilbert who was in an accident over 30 years ago. She is a an optimistic person who has learned to write things down to help organize and remember them. She is another brain injury radio host! My 3rd guest is Mabel Rouse; she survived a stroke many years ago. She believes that exercise is the key to moving on. I met her in the local gym where we both work out. (She is a dedicated soul!) Lastly is Krystal Rene Sanford who was born with hydrocephalus. She has found that getting through life requires an organization and a method. She therefore concentrates on one thing at a given time and allows herself to finish one task before starting the next. She does a lot of talking and her mission is to expand knowledge of her disability. It's important to settle on one path to get through our daily trials and tribulations. Here are 4 differing methods of dealing with the mass of information in our lives. Which can you relate to?

This Life We Live with Craig Sicilia

Wed, 04 Apr 2018 02:00:00 +0000

TBI is a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings that come and go, and we the riders go for the ride good and bad in a confusion of feelings we must understand, how do we do it, what makes it easier and harder I had to take a couple of weeks to get my mind back, granted with a brain injury that is pretty vague, my brain was burnt, i needed to do some self expression, reflection and get the fog out I think I am ready to do it again bigger and better I need more people to help and to pace things out and of course learn the word no and when to use is We will as well talk about state brain injury sites and what the new standard should be, if a site is all about fundraising stay away see how money is used if you don't see it ask some organizations are raising hundreds and hundreds of thousands and only a few thousand dollars actually get used to support survivors and their families, this is a shame with all the great organizations doing powerful things big organizations are wasting this valuable money on wages and branding their organizations to make bigger profits to pay themselves more. Here is what I think websites should be everything all on one page, multiple languages, the information right their and assistance if needed. I am hoping that Washington state sets the standard on what its page should look like..

The Matt Duffin Show - Easter, Family, Joy. Did it lay an Egg?

Mon, 02 Apr 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Easter Sunday, marked by April Fool's Day, closing the Brain Injury Awareness month. Easter brings joy to mankind, not sure about all religions, but at the Milton Christian Church it seemed to work. I'll play Rev. Scott Moisnter's Easter Morning sermon. We had a near FULL church! After church came dinner plans, family plans, hell on my head plans. But, a TBI isn't gonna keep me uninvovled. Yes, holidays are a tad different now a days, but so am I. Too cool to figure my own self out. I can do my own 'preaching' tonight on Holiday Blues. As a child, most holiday's are gifted and fun. As an adult with a TBI, most holiday's are just that, a holiday where folks we never see, don't understand us tell us ''how it must be to have a TBI.'' Jennifer is been egg coloring, cooking and most importand, preparing HERSELF for dinner plans. She is so pretty! Jen will discuss the morning stresses, reaching a peak and finding flate ground. Her therapy, never met in Alabama, is going so, so well for her. So pleased. Call in or just listen, here or calling toll free (424) 243-9540. Not sure what Easter rock n' rock songs are, but I'll find some.

Another Fork in the Road: Role Changes after Brain Injury - Revisited

Mon, 02 Apr 2018 00:30:00 +0000

Happy Spring to Everyone! I'm sorry I am not able to be with you this evening, but I am with you in spirit. I am replaying a favorite show, Role Changes after Brain Injury was popular show among many of my listeners. I hope you enjoy it. EveryoneEvery 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."

Opening the manual on Emotional Education. It does cope with life. Emotions are not feelings, but feelings become emotional. Jennifer Goodman, the Co-Host on The Matt Duffin Show, is visiting the Golay Center with her daughter today, our local ''social club'' if you will. I'm working on the computer, so far, so working, if this prints out. We'll discuss Coping Skills, alive skills. Last week, the show was cancelled at the last minute - literally. I had a seizure moments before and it turned out to be along night. Speaking of lenths of nights, we all, or most of America, lost an hour of sleep last night, 'moving forward' to Daylight Savings Time. Even though we went to bed early, the morning still came too early for me. I like sleep, damnit. Also an hour closer to my baby girls Birthday on Tuesday, Miss Mercadi Brock Duffin. We'll try to make the day happy from our end! Call in (424) 243-9540 (which is a toll free number). I try hard to make it Troll Free. Let's talk, and Rock.

Sun, 11 Mar 2018 01:30:00 +0000

When you are diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) it seems to come out of nowhere, even though you might have been dealing with the symptoms for a very long time. And generally, one does not understand at first the impact diagnoses will have on the rest of one’s life... I have been disabled my whole life. I received my BI at birth. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis four years ago, which in itself is a brain injury. My name is Lisa Dryer and I am the host of this show. I try to have positive guests that will educate you! And inspire you, too! I have all been going through some major life changes recently and will talk about how we handle this with disability. I also have sick parents. How do we deal with that? Tonight I hope to talk about friendship and disability.How and why is it harder to make friends? What other challenges do we have in our communities?

We Are the Voice of the People with Craig Sicilia

Wed, 07 Mar 2018 03:30:00 +0000

Has everyone figured out why this huge population is so hidden and silent... It is because someone else has been our voice for generations, not so they can help us, but study us, control us, control what resources are available to us.we represent billions and billions each year. when you ask someone what brain injury looks like you will be surprised. I challenge folks to ask some random people when you think of brain injury what comes to your mind. It will scare you, our voice has been waisted, and exploited. Now the time is hear to take charge of our voice, and our lives and supports. No one knows what we go through unless they have been there, our caregivers and families experience exhaustion till they cannot take it any more.and we are left alone. People make the billions, don't give all the valuable resources that are available,families are destroyed before you can blink almost. The time is now, change only happens when a culture comes together, let us unite and change this system to a priority of helping and servicing profit and the limelight

Another Fork in the Road: Dealing with Anger & Denial Post Brain Injury

Mon, 05 Mar 2018 01:30:00 +0000

Anger and denial are two emotions that many brain injury survivors and their caregivers experience, and it's not surprising. Brain injury tears so many lives apart. In an instant, lives change and often can never be put back together again. Two caregivers, Bob Millsap and Jeannette Davidson-Mayer and survivor, Lisa Dryer join me to alk about how they and their survivors keep these strong emotions in line. 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.

We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld - DrD

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Is chronic pain following your traumatic brain injury interfering with your life? There is a way to eliminate that pain and Joseph Jacobs, DPT, ASTR, has created some tools and a particular technique to help with just that. He is a cancer survivor who developed this technique to enhance his own situation, as well as to treat others whose lives have devolved into endless pain. His patients appreciate the immediate and long-lasting relief. He has read many materials about the causes of tissue pain, and has done extensive research on his own to discover the most effective type of treatment for bodily discomfort. He particularly studied the various connections and relationships of the various layers of soft tissue (joints, fascia, and connective tissue) in the human body. However, this pain is not due to one particular dysfunction, but arises from a variety of causes. He analyzed the 10 stages that most people go through following any type of trauma (from the inflammation and subsequent formation of scar tissue through the disturbance of muscles and related tissues to the eventual effect upon gait, balance, and life style). Dr. Jacobs believes that one of the reasons chronic pain sufferers go from Dr. to Dr. is that no one addresses the whole picture effectively. Through his study and research, he believes he has found such a treatment. He has named this treatment ASTR (Advanced Soft Tissue Release) and he will discuss why it works.

Having to move back home when your 36-years old because of your newly aquired TBI? Does your wife pay the bills, and moniter your kids most of the time, now? Life changing as much as Life altering issues spinning around in your head, while you have OTHER broken issues to think about (but NOBODY thinks like you do, right?) We do, all us survivors feel so much the same, but yet we're different. Your sister, your mother, your favorite aunt or uncle - no one understands, but they love you. But... You wear on them, you DRAIN them at times. Not so much as they are already drainded by their own life, which usually includes the lives of others. Get together, share the same pages, yet differently, together. Either they WANT to learn and understand (sorta), or they don't. Sadly, that ends with good bye old self, HERE"S THE NEW ME! Now be nice. Blow it off, you have time on your side. Jennifer Goodman will share with me, but focus on Sensory Defensiveness (SD). As in, stay away from the Juke Box and Slot Machines...

Caretakers on Surviving Head Trauma with Terry Smith

Fri, 23 Feb 2018 03:00:00 +0000

CARETAKERS on SURVIVING HEAD TRAUMA with TERRY SMITH After the trauma, after doctors, after rehab, after the family attention, the caretaker is who remains for the survivor. Sometimes, forever. This episode is about what it means to be a caretaker of someone for the rest of life and the sacrifices made to do so. The nature of being a caretaker is often unheard and unmentioned. The toll is real for the patient and the caregiver. Finding balance with the life of a disabled loved one and your own life is our objective. At the top of the show, Bob and Shelly Millsap will share their compelling story of love, loss, survival and commitment. One is a caregiver, the other is a survivor. Together, they will reveal the ups and downs of living life requiring care after the fall. Our next guest, Kay Pratt, is a brain injury survivor, author of the book: Help I Have A Brain Injury And It Feels Like I’ve Dropped Out Of The Sky, and a life coach for dealing with long term caregiving. She’s going to share her story, how she overcame it and what she has learned as a life coach to help others who are making sacrifices for the sake of love.

The Matt Duffin Show: God Finally Speaks. Is America Listening to Job?

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Jennifer and Miss Elizebeth Goodman accompanied me to the Milton Christian Church this morning just to find a feeling of joy. Unknowingly, a FULL breakfast was planned following worship by the congregation. WELCOME TO MILTON! I found joy. Sure. Country cookin' at its finest. And the freindly enviornment, so joyful. Our new, young Minister Scott Moistner is inspiring the folks with a weekly lesson from the Book of Job. Uh, Job's world, much like mine or yours is so reflected in our life of Survivors. Even, or mostly, the DEAD parts. God seemed to ask me but one question years ago after my wreck, "why". I must of struggled answering the questions of life, but my Angel of a Mother was beside me until, of course, the clouds rolled in. It was up to me to answer His simple question. I lived, evidently pursueding the Man for more time to correct the basin created. I, like many of you, religious or not, are trying. Life took on a different meaning, although we haven't a clue what's meant. God and I did NOT HANG OUT AT THE SAME BARS, or oh boy, was He upset with many of us humans. Never the less, He found me, along the roadside, dieing. Then the storm become to hail. I'm not a Minister, but a Clergy of Spirital Humanism. Officially (it was cheap). Job in The Good Book tonight. After a week of tragedy spoken, too many folks have the answer. Fix it. All of us can help to fix it. If you wish to keep guns, and you should Constitionally be allowed in the USA, then keep guns out of the hands of children in the USA. Yet we bitch about 3rd world children blasting ammo? Pray, Call, Tell you ideas, story, or world around you. Like Frasier Crane did "I'm Listening". (424) 243-9540

Heather Sivori Floyd was already a mother, which means she was a automatic caregiver. But when one of her children had a bain injury, her caregiving skills rose to a higher level. Hear Heather talk about how to juggle caring for her son with brain injury with the rest of her family. 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! To learn more about me, please visit my blogs. Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury Blog: survivingtraumaticbraininjury.com Donna's Blog: donnaodonnellfigurski.wordpress.com

The Matt Duffin Show - Starting A Fresh New Start

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 03:00:00 +0000

When is life, reality? Did you fail you, or did you fall off the climb to the top? "When I get tot he bottom I go back up to the top of the slide. where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride......". Life is support. And we give it too. Afterall, many of us are "Life Support" veterans... "Til I get to the bottom, and I see you again... Yeah Yeah Yeah...." TBI, the most incredible fall from life as we know, or knew it. A broken down horse was shot in the old days, saved by educated vet meds now. Some one was on the job long ago. So in support of TBI and all head 'traumas' involved, their family and caregivers, and all medical folks inbetween, be nice, stay supportive and THINK, always. Leave that word on your shoulder. If you feel you have to spew it, call me now 424 243-9540.

The Matt Duffin Show - Super Survivors Bowl

Mon, 05 Feb 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Sports writer days retired following my accident, and life became so important. To some, why not sports? Entertains, friendships created and destroyed plus it gives the Preacher something to say on Super Bowl Sunday. Super concussion Sunday? Many of us with head trauma don't care for contact sports, but name me a sport besides tiddly-wink where contact isn't attainable? "Oh, my eye, you Flipper!" So, we'll talk Super Sunday or simply Sunday in general. George Carlin's 7-dirty-words acceptable after 11:00, once you know where your kids are. Because, trauma to the first degree isn't something you want your kid going to sleep, dancing in their little precious heads.. Jennifer Goodman is on her way back from a visit with her daughter and may make it before I break it. (424) 243-9540 call in free, listen or press #1 to talk. Is it Unpatriotic to say "Go Eagles"??

The unthinkable has happened. Your loved one has a brain injury and is in the hospital. You are the advocate, the primary spokesperson, for your survivor. Life and death decisions are in your hands. What now? My panelists have all been in this place. Tune in to find out how caregivers, Lisabeth Mackall, Jeannette Davidson-Mayer, and Fruit (Grace) Mauzy handled their situations.

Doctor TOLD me to take the night off radio, after television tapings. It wasn't orders from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jennifer Goodman, my co-host (some weeks) and I will offer the words of one of the greatest men ever to be produced in this country - the United States. He was shot dead, when I was 9 years old. My teachings at that point, in an entirely 'white' area was he was a good leader against the wrong. Following his murder, cartoons where replaced by FBI commercials looking for James Earl Ray. This was the early years of troubled times, King, both Kennedy's assasinations and burning city's topped Vietnam news, college protests found deaths by government firearms. Bruce Jenner was a man winning the Olympic Decathalon. Now, Iran (f--king militants) is back, the Earth has a hole, Alien's amount, North Korea has a President sillier than the USA does and Hawaii woke up to another Air Raid Warning on Saturday, 73 years later. Doctor King was a wise, galliant, gut-strong and a pure American man. He had a Dream. We was close to waking up.

The Matt Duffin Show: Life Skills Create Coping Skills Create a Better Mind

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Back in The Downtown Milton Studio! after 2 weeks of Holiday 'visits'. Thanks, 'or the Church pews on Christmas Eve 'twas enlighening, Back in theme, if not tune, at Dawn and Beck's was this old man rockin' in the New Year. Back to work, back to freezing Canadian winds paying us back for Florida. I'd rather give the the Sunshine State mayself. (shift monolog) Tired of the frustration, disturbance and struggles of you or your 'person of interest's' TBI, Stroke, Etc? They are nurmerous chronic head pains, too numerous to list or fix - plus I hate all the big words. (I'm not that smart - rather just know what a person means with understandings are) Over the next 20 weeks or so, I won't be able to avoid some of the medical broke brain terminology, but plan on keeping them short, and too the point-ish so you can decide, work on and repair your own recovery in a way YOU understand. You may discover real quickly you are not alone. How the school systems don't require Life Skills and Coping Skills Classes if beyond me. Children need to learn to be young adults, with thoughts and ideas of their own. I snuck in the door a year following my TBI, then for 4 1/2 years spent weekly inside RHI's 'Dr. Lisa THompson Family Learning Center' learning what life was agian, about. My BICS buddy Bill called me "the chosen one'', to which I relplied "Oh shit, they're Cops too?" Afterall, Craig hired me Six Years ago to offer weekly Coping Skills, not Political Skills. even though I'm on the side Roy Moore isn't (you didn't hear TMDS promote him, but we tried to call the Mall Cop). 424 243-9540 is a charge-free number, please feel free to call Jennifer or myself.

Another Fork in the Road: Flooding & Brain Injury with Jeannette & Bob

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 01:30:00 +0000

Brain flooding can feel like you are surrounded in hurricane winds. It can make you feel helpless and confused and overwhelmed. Flooding does not present a pretty picture. My guests, Bob Millsap and Jeannette Davidson-Mayer will talk about how flooding affects their survivors. 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.

We Deserve Better - Dorrin Rosenfeld - DrD

Fri, 05 Jan 2018 03:00:00 +0000

Most of us, those with and without traumatic brain injuries, find it difficult to organize our thoughts to make an impact on friends, family and associates through speech. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say what you want at any time and have others listen? This show will explore how to say what you desire, how to say it effectively, and how to decisively make your point. This show features Mr. Tyree Johnson (a Distinguished Toastmaster) who has a variety of tips and strategies to help people express themselves more effectively. He comes to us from Toastmasters International - a group dedicated to delivering effective speeches and points of view. He was a past district governor in the San Francisco Bay Area of Toastmasters. He is able to help teach us to get our point across and help people overcome pschological barriers to commmunicating effectively. It turns out that public speaking is one of the greatest fears we have. (Universally, it ranks just behind the fear of death.) Wouldn't you like to put that behind you? Not everyone is a born orator, but we can all learn to make a point convincingly, with a little practice. Now is the time to do this, and it's something from which everyone can benefit. Listen in and learn to communicate seemingly effortlessly.
