Living with Brain Injury
 

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but here's the link to a really great TBI guide:

Missouri Green Book: Living with Brain Injury
http://health.mo.gov/living/families...eGreenBook.pdf

It's in PDF format, so you will need to have a PDF file reader like Adobe installed on your computer. If you want to view it in HTML format, just Google: Missouri Green Book Living with Brain Injury and below the link will be an option to view the HTML version.

Lots of useful information in there for adults and children.

Very interesting and intense. It has very little information about concussions and PCS. Some of the concussion information is inaccurate. We should not be surprised.

I caution people from trying to read it through. It may be way too much stimulation and cognitive effort to process. There is a very good and simple diagram of the brain that helps people understand the areas that cause certain symptoms.

Those with upper neck injuries may find the breathing and heart rate area important.

It's not perfect, nothing is perfect. Especially when it comes to brain injury because there is still little known about it. But, I'm sure everyone, from TBI/concussion survivors to caregivers will find something in there helpful.

I forgot to mention the part about reading it in one sitting. It's very lengthy and will most likely overload your systems if you try to read more than one chapter at a time. Find a chapter that interests you, read it and come back for more later.

Enjoy.
