I have a lot of cognitive problems that are getting worse with time. What I am doing to reverse this is cognitive functioning games.

You may have heard of things like "Brain Training" or "Luminosity." Well, those type of little memory games are actually very good for the brain. I play free games, I don't pay membership fees. I just got my new phone and downloaded a free cognitive game app today (I'm excited about it.) But, there are free games online, too.

Here is a link to free games at cambridge sciences

Never looked at it that way. Makes a lot of sense. I have noticed a loss in remembering things, quite a lot. So thanks for sharing.

Cubbiesgirl, a lot of good information here. I've been dx for a little while and still learning all sorts of things. Just remember it is a process, longer for some then others. Lot of different drugs and reactions so they are very careful with adding them. I know I only started 1 at a time and slowly increased doses. This helps with not being over-medicated. Lots of support here, so hope to see you around more.
