Hi Heather,
From my past expericences with E. what you are describing isn't typical and I ask myself if maybe something more is going on like the beginning of alzhemiers. I hope I'm wrong but my grandmother and great grandfather both had alzheimers and some of the symptoms you have mentioned make me wonder.
Just to let you know the old forum is up and running just type in Neurology web forum and when you see a posting titled braintalkcommunity click it on and you can go to the E page or any other pages you want to check out.
Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
