Hey there! I'm dealing with a lot of cog issues right now, too. I just got done with the neuropsych testing to see if there is a decline. My neuro said that depending on that testing, there are a couple of different things he could try med wise. He mentioned ADHD drugs and I'm thiniking the other one could be an Aricept or Namenda type of drug.

I don't remember if you are on or have ever been on Provigil. It stopped working for me, but one thing it did was help with mental clarity. That is another option.

Hey, don't feel bad at all about the emotional stuff. I think it all bubbles out when we are overtired or stressed. I have been a mess myself a lot lately and I think I'm just stretched too thin and think I'm having a bit of a flare up, too. I bawled my eyes out for hours on Saturday night for being too tired to finish helping DS8 work on a project, clean the kitchen, fix a decent meal, etc. Then, something reminded me of my mom and I was just done. I couldn't stop crying.

Are you coming back up to the "Burgh" for Thanksgiving? If so, we will have to meet up. Maybe even get a few other locals together for a board get together. That might perk you up.
