I am type 2 Diabetic. I am 83 soon to be 84. I no longer can multitask. When I am walking, I have focus on the activity of walking or I may fall down, trip over something, or just lose my balance. I recently did an "IQ" test on the web and scored over 140. I am also a test subject in the Mayo Clinic's aging study. My memory seems to be working fine both short and long term. But the other night I was talking with one of my sons. While we were both talking in conversation, I thought of a question to ask him. By the time I was ready to ask the question. I lost it. I have another name for brain fog--"Brain Fart"! I have not had any of the meds all of you have mentioned.

I write a weekly opinion column for the local paper. My go-to book is the dictionary. And Wikipedia is my fast history lookup. My memory can be triggered by certain words or phrases. This means I can dynamically change direction on a topic and go off somewhere in my thinking. For some of my readers, they don't understand how I got to the end point. My "triggers" seem to work the same way every time.
