supreme,

Your screen name makes me think of pizza. LOL

The reading problem is common. Try to determine if you have more difficulty with different types of reading material. I cannot read fiction, especially if it has very descriptive writing. Too much information to try to hold in my memory to make the story make sense.

I also struggle with long line lengths. My eyes get lost trying to keep my place, and even more lost trying to find the start of the next line. Try using a blank piece of paper to help you follow the line you are reading. You may even need to cover the text you have already read if it distracts you.

Long conversations can exhaust my brain. I had a one on one meeting that lasted almost two hours. I was finished for almost a week recovering my cognitive strength.

Try pacing your conversations. You may even do better if you avoid conversations in a room with others talking. The back ground voices can overwhelm you brain.

The important objective is to avoid overwhelming or exhausting your brain. This slows recovery. If you start to get 'spacey eyed,' your time is up. Do something else, even if you have to excuse yourself from the conversation.

Hope this helps.

My best to you.
