Default Talk to me about Alzheimer's meds.

Sooo...what do you know about Alzheimer's medications being used to treat MS cognitive problems?

I'm feeling pretty desperate right now.

While I don't have a formal degree, I've worked for over 20 years in the semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry as a development/startup engineer.

I was laid off 5 years ago, during a big downturn in the industry.

I didn't plan to stay off work for three years, but a shoulder fracture/dislocation followed by my husbands head injury (ski accident), followed by my MS diagnosis...well...

Two years ago I took a part time job at a "nano" start up. It morphed into an "almost" full time job.

Almost a year ago I accepted a full time job at a solar start up. The job is just a technician level job (I was worried about handling anything more demanding) at 10K less than I was working for 5 years ago, but came with a options that could potentially be worth alot if I stay at the company long enough, and the company eventially goes public and does well.

Here's the problem. I'm having a VERY HARD time thinking. Organizing thoughts...planning out my day...note taking...

I even have a piece of equipment at work (a scanning electron microscope - SEM) that is ancient! I used this exact same model at my last full time job 1989-2003...but everytime I sit down to use it...I have to get out my notes...cause I draw a blank. Today...I just kept flipping through my notes 'cause I couldn't find the right part.

Anyway, I could go on and on. And I plan on calling the neuro on Monday. I typically see him when I'm in crisis. I want to make an appt. to see him when things are more relaxed so that we can brain storm.

But here's my question. Has anyone used any of the Alheimer's drugs to enhance mental clarity/reduce cogfog??
