takinxanax,

Again, Welcome to NT. I have memory functions measured in the 5 to 12% range, too. As lightrail said, there is more to this diagnosis than a simple number. You husband may have confusion for a number of reasons that may have little to do with his memory function.

For many of us, our symptoms have remained at a limited level for years. This does not need to be a death sentence to living a full life. You both need to learn the many work-arounds and accommodations for living with memory and cognitive limitations.

Tell us more about his injury, his diagnosis, his treatments and his current living environment/work/family. Improvement in function is helped when the whole family is involved.

It will help if you read the Vitamins.... thread. It has good information and some links to online resources such as the YouTube "You Look Great" video series.

Please feel free to ask or tell us anything. We are a very supportive community.

My best to you both.
