Aww, sweetie, I'm so sorry about all this. I'm gonna call you tomorrow morning....let me know when's the best time or if tomorrow's not a good day.

I have the cog problems, too, sometimes. I'd get confused about simple things...like where to look for something or where to put something once I was finished using it. Also, with word recall. Since I've been on LDN it's gotten much better. Not sure if it's because of the med or if I was going to get better anyway. I don't care....it's better and that's all that matters.

I know of some people with MS who are on Aricept. It's not prescribed specifically for MS but it can help with cognitive problems associated with MS and other diseases. Your doctor might suggest that. You might want to do some Internet research on the different meds available for cognitive difficulties so you'll be familiar with the side effects and names. I'd print out the info on the ones I was interested in. I have to print everything out if I want to remember it!!

I hope that after this election is over you'll find that you're better. I know you've been volunteering countless hours and even though you're not physically taxing yourself the mental overload can cause havoc to our systems. I hope you can get some much needed rest after all this is over.

Three more days................
