Has anyone here suffered from TBI, stroke or any other type of brain injury?
How do you deal with it? Did it affect your academic performance

Yes suffered two strokes (3 weeks apart) due to vertebral arterial dissection. Caused cerebral brain injury
Had to learn how to walk again. My memory continues to be patchy. My sense of time is particular bad (often have to think hard to remember age or current year)
But came first in my postgraduate law course, do well at work and hold my own at my chess club. Although to be fair I have to work harder at these things to succeed
Occasional fuzzy patches in my brain. sometimes I 'vague out' mid sentence. This happens most when I am sleep deprived. I don't share MT history with colleagues and recent acquaintances. None would suspect, although some may consider me absent minded
