Hello @tigsmum and welcome to Mayo Connect!

I am glad that you joined Connect and posted about your aneurysm and the lingering side effects. Deficits left by this type of disorder are certainly difficult to deal with and it is understandable that you would be frustrated and angry.

Would you be willing to share more about these deficits in specific terms (like memory, attention, focus, speech problems, word-finding, physical problems with gait, balance or walking)?

By being a bit more specific other members can share how they have been helped with these deficits.

I would also encourage you to ask your doctor about neurocognitive therapy (different than physical therapy or occupational therapy). This type of therapy addresses the cognition issues of memory, speech difficulties, etc.

Will you post again?
