 Thank you all for the warm welcome. This is a really great, productive site. Think I'm going to pitch my tent under that tree there. Hope my solar powered camp fire does'nt scare anyone.
Now then, you all have great ideas on how to keep your brain active. Some I knew about, but others I'll have to try, assuming I remember.
You know, there is one thing we can do that no one has mentioned. I think it is because if we use it, we then have to admit that is a problem in this area. That is, when you realize you are having a cognition problem, simply admit it to whom ever you are talking with. If they are new to MS, then briefly explain the problem and assure them that everything is fine, it will just take time to recover. I do it all the time, and it really gets easier each time I do that. Sometimes my audience can clue me back in, other times we will simply take a break and crack jokes. But admitting there is a problem, calmly without getting angry or embarrassed, will greatly improve the situation possibly allowing you to get back on trac. The thing is, remain calm. Cognition is not painful at least, and there are things that can be done to overcome it.
