Note that the first line says, "Most individuals with myasthenia gravis (MG) complain of cognitive impairment........."

I definitely notice a difference in my ability to think and remember.............even when I'm NOT on Topamax for migraines. When ALSO on Topamax, I'm dumber than dirt.

Just in case you are wondering, I'm currently a certified idiot.
Fortunately, I only have cognitive impairment when my breathing problems are out of control (my brain seems to be unhappy with increased CO2 levels and also with inadequate sleep).

Most of the time (with respiratory support if required) my cognition seems to be fine. ( I wouldn't take responsibility for the life and well-being of other people if it weren't so).
