MRIs aren't sensitive enough to pick up damage on a cellular level and EEGs don't pick up electric discharge deep within brain tissue. You know your body best.
For crappy memory I use a Palm. It keeps appointments, addresses, lists, clock ....... other stuff I don't really need, all in one place. I can hand write notes in it and tell it to remind me with an alarm. I can set it to repeat. I even can pick the sound.
A white board and dry erase markers are helpful too. The bathroom wall is a good place, that room is frequently used :) I use a timer to remind me I'm cooking something.
I'm glad you give driving your undevided attention. You are wiser than some numbies on the road, me included.
I was hit by a loaded Mack truck 6 years ago. Recovery is an ongoing process. I am confident that I will never stop improving functions as long as I work on it. My biggest improvement came with what I call 'reality rehab'. While doing things I think I cannot, I am learning ways to compensate and cope.
I have tried Concerta up to double dose (I don't remember what that was) and am taking Provigil 200mg for several years, forgot, have to look up how long exactly. I tried up to 400mg. My neuro advised me not to drink coffee, or black/green tea, because it dehydrates.
Happy thoughts, bimini
