Re: Concentration and Distraction
-- [ From: Donna Kipp * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Concentration a problem?? Well this is my third attempt at this letter. All I know Allen , is the old gray matter is not working the way it used to. I have a difficult time reading which used to be a mainstay of life. This to me is about the scariest part of this disease. I am a bridge player when my meds are working I am fine but when they go off I can't even remember my points 2 seconds after I have counted them and find it impossible to add up a column of numbers. Sometimes I feel like my head is wrapped in cotton batting and nothing can get through. As far as distractability is concerned depression might play a part. I assume anti-depressants are a part of your usual pill popping regime. Donna
