I have epilepsy and 2 abi's, I can offer some advice if I can as a patient who has suffered like most and getting very much better but the process is an ongoing thing and everyday is a challenge0

In addition to my last comment, the very first step to recovery
in my opinion to this and in fact any long term disability is ACCEPTANCE.
If you are in the lucky position to be able to crack this one, then your on to a winner.

I had a brain injury (basal ganglia damaged) - in 1990 - I was diagnosed with Parkinsonism, 3 years later and since then, I have lost the use of my legs (I am immobile) and my arms are now starting to give up (I have a form of Rotator cuff on both shoulders - which is extremely painful.I was helped by Headway some 25 years ago - but now I am left to my own devices (with my wife).I have a metal knee (part replacement in 2016) and I suffer from undiagnosed diahhorea/constipation - finally - I have a "lump" in my lower abdomen which I am trying to get diagnosed now - but have been refused an MRI - but keep on being offered a CT scan - which does not even penetrate to the depth of the bowels !!You name it - I've had it - from DVT to hyperextended knee jointsI worked full time until 2009 and part time until 2020 - I am now 60 !0
