After being medically discharged from Defence, and mostly in the quiet, I endured years of debilitating symptoms, including chronic pain and PTSD. I was prescribed a cocktail of medications that left me isolated and struggling, leading to multiple overdose attempts. The impacts mentioned in the video are not unique to the US, Australia's elite Special Boat Teams are subject to similar repetative shock exposures. A 2005 report by DSTO showed Australian fast boat crews were exposed to repetitive impact shocks from 4 to 13G of pressure. In 2021, after years of chronic head pain, behavioural challenges, and repeated misdiagnoses, I finally found a doctor to conduct specialised brain scans. Neurofeedback revealed significant Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) caused by repeated head traumas and compounded by prolonged high-dose polypharmacy. This diagnosis was a turning point, giving me a second chance at life and enabling me to seek out medical specialists who addressed the root cause of my condition instead of just managing the symptoms. Since then, I’ve embraced holistic rehabilitation, including physical therapy, balanced endocannabinoid medicines, ketamine infusion therapy, nutrition, meditation, and other innovative approaches. Today, I’m back at part-time work and collaborating with medical professionals, veterans, and volunteers to raise awareness and improve access to services for TBI and related conditions. If you’d like to learn more or think you might have experienced TBI during your service, please don’t hesitate to reach out. https://lnkd.in/gUb7t69H

???? Honoring Our Veterans on Veterans Day ???? Today, we celebrate the bravery of our veterans and recognize the unique challenges many face, including vestibular disorders. While these conditions can affect anyone, military personnel are at greater risk due to factors like traumatic brain injuries and neurotoxic vestibulopathy from certain antimalarials. ?? Diagnosis Journey: The path to diagnosis often starts with a primary care physician (PCP), but not all PCPs are trained to recognize vestibular disorders. ?? Educate Yourself: Familiarizing yourself with symptoms—such as dizziness, balance issues, and nausea—can help you communicate effectively with your healthcare provider. Let’s honor our veterans by raising awareness about their health challenges and ensuring they receive the support they deserve. ????

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a serious condition that can occur when the head is hit with significant force or moved rapidly, often caused by car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or nearby explosions during military service. Whether mild or severe, TBIs can impact many aspects of life, including physical abilities, cognitive functions, and behaviors. Symptoms of TBI may include headaches, blurry vision, trouble hearing, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and increased sensitivity to light or noise. For Veterans, TBIs can often go unnoticed, yet they may lead to significant challenges like depression, anxiety, and sleeping difficulties. At My Veteran Passion (MVP), we recognize the importance of understanding and addressing TBI to support recovery and improve quality of life. Join our supportive community on Discord to connect with Veterans who share similar experiences: https://lnkd.in/g6eSRixw.

It’s fascinating to consider that Single Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (sTMS) could help mitigate the effects of cortical spreading depression (CSD) by interrupting the abnormal electrical activity linked to migraine aura.???? By modulating neuronal excitability and stabilizing hyperactive neurons, sTMS may prevent the cascade of CSD-related events, calming neural hyperactivity and reducing aura symptoms and headache severity. With its drug-free approach, sTMS is a groundbreaking central neuromodulatory solution for migraine tied to CSD. Check out our website to learn more about SAVI Dual Migraine Therapy, the first and only portable, patient-controlled sTMS device available by prescription. #TMS #migrainerelief #veterans #neuromodulation #PainRelief #Technology https://zurl.co/LSsyW

Imagine a soldier returning home, not to peace but to an endless battle against haunting memories and sleepless nights. For many Israeli veterans, the war doesn’t end on the battlefield—it follows them home, affecting their families and every corner of their lives. But at Sheba Medical Center, together with Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), a lifeline has been created. The “Returning to Life” National Center for Victims of Mental Trauma has already helped over 1,290 veterans and their families begin the journey to healing. From personalized therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to cutting-edge solutions like AI-driven virtual care, this partnership is transforming pain into resilience. Each therapy session, every act of care, is a step toward restoring hope and rebuilding lives. Together, Sheba and FIDF are not just treating trauma—they’re offering a second chance.

Every day 452 Canadians suffer a serious brain injury. This amounts to nearly one person every three minutes, equaling almost 165,000 serious brain injuries per year. This does not include concussions, military injuries, or unreported cases. There are close to half a million Ontarians living with acquired brain injury (ABI) which does not include the 155,000 concussions that occur each year in Ontario. Join OSOT in raising awareness and knowledge about those affected by brain injuries. #braininjuryawarenessmonth #ocupationaltherapist

?? "I just didn’t feel right" — these words resonate deeply for Veterans living with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), whether in the UK, Canada or across the globe. The recent ITV story highlights the often hidden reality of life with TBI, a condition that profoundly impacts military Veterans long after their service ends: ?? Watch the full story: https://lnkd.in/eBykN7Gf While brain injuries can be life-altering, it’s underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and under-treated, leaving many feeling isolated. At Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada and Concussion Legacy Foundation UK, through initiatives like Project Enlist and Operation Brain Health, we are working to advance research, raise awareness, and offer hope for those affected by brain injuries and CTE. We want to fully support incredible people like Kate England and Nathan Howarth, who are on the front lines of this issue. Veterans: You’re not alone.
