Thanks 0357 (my short term memory is bad and I had to look back for your user name) LOL

And PE, I now understand what STM is, I think, and mine is bad. It is info that I read or am told that most people can remember for a few minutes and up to hours later but won't go into your long term memory because it isn't important or required. If I don't write it down it is most likely gone.

The stuff 0357 quoted are a lot of what was talked about. Executive function is one of the biggies for me. Just ask Bannet, she's been trying to get me to commit to a time to meet for awhile. And I absolutely hate to make a final decision anymore.

One of the interesting things I learned was the deficiency in some of these cognitive issues can add to or cause the fatigue that I have and my anxiety attacks are probably caused by some cognitive issues.

The speaker was my neurologist and she told us that she has a test on the computer that will test and give results in about 5 minutes. I'm wondering if it is one of the sites we mentioned here.

I will be getting a copy of her PowerPoint since the overhead at the conference was almost unreadable. I had a tough time following because I'm more of a visual learner than an audio learner. I was unable to take notes while listening, another short-come I seem to have. That would be the divided attention thing.

And for those of us who are overwhelmed by groups and multi-conversations going on she said to do the obvious. Ask that only one person talk at a time if possible, go to a quieter room to regroup or talk one on one in that room with a person. Sounds easy, can you imagine doing that at a family get-together or in a restaurant with friends. I have found from experience don't double dose on Ativan to avoid the overload, chances are you won't remember the event.

So, I am more informed thanks to the seminar and I plan to go to one that will address spasticity and pain. Another thing I don't totally understand. Is spasticity just a spasm?
