Focus required in reading and conversations.

Posted by martinvandyk @martinvandyk, May 9 12:46pm

1. I like to read. As I read a book, I often lose track of the previous sentence. I would like to leave this hindrance.
2. As I read out loud (to others) I think of unrelated topics (and actions there required) and yet I continue read.
3. Similarly in conversation and writing. A desired focus for communication purpose seems to have left me. Without any self-request this seems lead to hindrance and limited clarity and completeness.
Comments please.

@jrolando After 20 years (of disappointment?) I started to investigate what was currently (2026) accepted as dealing with forgetfulness. Eventually I encountered 'Lion's Mane' -Cognition. Users spoke well of it. I must say that I was/am assisted very well with the powder in my black coffee.

@martinvandyk Thanks for sharing, good to know! I'll have to look into this. Would be nice to clear up some brain fog.

Same here. It has been years since I've been able to finish reading a book. If I could just stop rereading the same sentence or paragraph, that'd be great. My TBI was 12 years ago. I was hit by a bicyclist. My physical injuries were minimal except for the TBI. The bicyclist actually returned to the scene before I was put on the ambulance. He walked over to me and said, "I sure am glad you're still alive." I look up at him and said, "Yeah, me, too." The smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by an expression of fear. Maybe it was the cop standing next to me.
