uncouth,
Finding something that works on your symptoms is great news. Yes, then there is all that deferred life maintenance.
:-/I can repeat advice given me: find brain nurturing supplements and foods like fish, fish oils. I am not familiar with the
two otc meds mentioned above, but yes. Exercise--mild, just mild not even intense. Brain gyms or mental exercises have shown improvement in adults.I know this is a rehash of common sense, and I suppose my point is to work to support your total brain health while seeking further answers. Noticing a decline in cognitive function is painful, and I imagine for someone like yourself who has a high level of functionality to refer back to. I'm sorry. I wish I had something more substantial to offer you.
Have you spoken to your doc about
memory issues? Sometimes neuro-psychologists can aid cognitive recovery by diagnosising possible malfunctioning brain regions. Knowing what areas that could be helpful in choosing supplements and in selecting brain therapy exercises. (It costs $$$ unless one has good insurance :-/ but it is out there.)I hope you soon reach some 'tipping point' in your recovery with this issue.
Thanks for posting.
