Dr Google

A friend of mine mentioned the expression that on the Internet we’re only ever “two clicks away from death”. Enter your symptoms at your peril.

I’m sure we can all love and hate Dr Google with equal measure. I’d love to know how many times I’ve googled phrases that include the word “fatigue”.

I’d never really noticed how you have to know EXACTLY the right words to put in until I discovered that “traumatic brain injury” is what I should’ve been looking for all along, dammit.

I’ve learnt all sorts of weird and wonderful things about fatigue along the way, many of which were downright disheartening, some of which were helpful or inspiring, and some of which were probably just a load of nonsense. But I’m immensely grateful for what Dr Google has taught me about traumatic brain injury and has helped me find so much advice and inspiration and practical solutions and tips and people who have been on this journey too.

I guess, like with all things, we use it with care.
