Most of my relapses were vision and cognitive problems. I almost think the two go hand in hand sometimes.
I had trouble with word retrieval, spelling, reading, writing, simple addition and subtraction, memory, multi-tasking etc. I did what I could to compensate for the deficits, but many of those things just cannot be compensated for, especially in the middle of a meeting! If it's any consolation, yes, they did go away, and what didn't go away, I must have learned how to live with or just stopped caring for the most part. I still use a calculator, make lists, use a giant calendar, carry around a date book and a notebook, put things in one place so I can remember where they are, etc. I don't write as much as I used to, I don't enjoy reading like I used to (I could read a book a day, now it takes me weeks) and I make sure to tell the old man everything that is going on so one of us will remember! They say a lot of these problems come along with age anyway, but I don't FEEL old, just a lot dumber sometimes... ![]() I hope this resolves for you! ![]()
