Thank you, Mark; I appreciate all you have shared. This is one of the frustrating things I still experience after having gone through a long slow recovery of PCS (9 years out).
Do you have any insight on how to differentiate this from age-related memory issues? I'm hoping I will see improvement with more mental activity. In the meantime, it's very disconcerting how much my memory has declined when I don't make that deliberate effort to remember something.
Thanks!
