Re: Cognitive Difficulties

[Guest guest]

Dear Jeri,

I sure hope we can come up with things to help each other.

I have had the cognitive difficulties for over 2 years now along with

mobility difficulties.

I find that if I am flat on my back next to my computer, I can type out a

daily list at times.

I also purchased a Day Timer that has a work memo log and some other logs

that I can't recall right now.

I wish I had the work memo log earlier. When I am functioning better than

other times, I will putthe subject at the top of the page and then record what I

did regarding the matter.

For example: I have had difficulty with the pharmacy filling the orders. I

have started to keep track of when, who and what was said.

The draw back is I have to wait until my mind is working well enough to

tackle this matters.

I also have the monthly and daily Day Timer. I purchased the journal or

notebook size as it is easier on my eyes and gives me lots of room.

If I need to follow up on something, I will write on that date what it is I

needed to follow up on.

Much like a tickler file. It is still a challenge as my mind is not always

working on the day that I would like to follow up on something. But, I just move

it on to the next day or so.

Today is one of those days so I am not sure how clear this is.

Some days you just have to wait it out.

I also used Microsoft Word to print out a weekly chart. I typed in what I

hoped to complete each week: hot bath every other day, bicilling shot 2 times a

week, exercise, etc. I try to keep track if I am doing these things.

I put 4 bottles of water out each day to make sure I am drinking the water I

need.

This is not to say that I am on top of things. Far from it. I have medical

bills that the insurance has yet to pay that I am still fighting. It has been

over a year.

I have been trying to get a power chair for over two years.

I have been trying to get an assistant dog for a year now.

My life has slowed down...to a stop some days and a slow crawl other days.

I am happiest when I can get out and about. I recently was able to walk for 5

days in a row for short distances at a time.

It was great. The connection between the mind and body were working and my

pace was almost normal for the most part. I just didn't last long.

It is the same with the mind. I find I have to pace myself in order to be

able to do a little each day.

If I find my mind is working especially well, I will over do it and then not

be able to do much for several days.

Hi, the best and most wonderful thing that I have found for Cognitive

Difficulties is Phosphidyl SERINE and it helps right a way. Rather expensive in

health food stores. I order mine with my other supplements and is more

reasonable.

Take Care,
