With these symptoms we could almost be twins - the only difference is that I am only 9 months in.

Were you a "high achiever/ flyer" for want of a better phrase?

The reason I ask - I can't put this easily (part of the injury), is that it seems to be difficult for medical professionals to understand the loss of capability for someone whom used to perform at a high rate. I am not talking about athletic or sport ability here.

I find difficulty in forming my words or speaking in public difficult or undertaking relatively simple maths. When you describe this to a medical professional you get the impression that they are saying "well most of my patients couldn't do that anyway, so whats the problem!"

And when we describe something like leaving items at the checkout you are just being absent minded or its your age. Rather than something that would never have happened before
