Tell me about it!
Hang in there. Keep using your mind as much as your condition allows. I frequently tell people that I use all of what little God gives me to work with. I know you are impaired and anergic. It can be discouraging. I hope you and your doctor continue to search for alternatives. Thinking "outside the box" might be necesssary.
Good Luck.
