Kshort,

Your problem is very simple to solve. Stop reading the news for a hour. Try setting a 10 or 15 minute limit on reading the news. You will notice long before you become fatigued that you start rereading lines. As soon as this happens the first time, turn your screen off. Take a break for a few hours before returning to the screen to read.

At 63 or even 59 when you were injured, your brain was already in a deteriorating state, just due to age. The vitamin regimen at the top in the sticky should help your brain.

You may find that relaxing to soft music can help reboot your brain If you listen to music that has lyrics or a melody that you know by memory, your brain will not work to process it. It will be able to just follow along and enjoy the music without the stress of processing it as new information.

This should help you. I doubt you can tolerate more than a half an hour of reading in the morning. My wife made me cancel the newspaper because it was fatiguing me.

My best to you.
