Hi Deb,

I can relate to everything you have posted as far as the challenges of be severely cognitively impared. When at the MS specialist office for a second opinion I got the President wrong, the month wrong, and even my own age wrong. Needless to say when she saw the atrophy in my brain she ordered a Neuropsych Eval.

I took it and it was the most grueling four hours since I can remember. I scored in the lower 25% overall and in some areas in the >-1 percentile. The neuropsych who administered the overall results suggested that I might want to try the new Alzheimers med Aracep but felt at this point it really wouldn't do me any good.

My suggestion for you is to have your neuro order a Neuropsych Eval for you so you know how severe the problem really is. It will confirm that it is not all in your head that's for sure.

Keep us informed and take one day at a time. Write a lot of notes to yourself.
