Really liked the part in the Summer Edition where they are talking about the different types of memory - it put things into a lot more perspective as to why I feel like I have large 'black holes' in my history - my husband will say 'do you remember when we.....' and I will draw a total blank, seemingly because the memories have not been taken in and moved to long term storage.

Also the different functional areas that can be affected with cognitive difficulty - knowing that it can affect visual and spatial perception and make tasks like driving, parking, map reading and judging distance more difficult somehow makes me feel a little less stupid and incompetent as a human being.

Stupid disease!
