@221946 Thank you for sharing. I do not have the same diagnoses as you, but I do have trouble with language -- particularly finding the right word during a conversation. I have noticed this since 2009 after an episode of a severe migraine caused by a swollen brain. My physicians keep telling me that this is just aging, but I know it is not since it is clearly related to the migraine episode. It felt like a stroke to me, but testing in the ER did not support that diagnoses. Are there things you do to maintain your brain health and reduce progression? I am interested in possibilities to slow progression of functional losses. Thank you for any information you can provide. Blessings to you.

Make sure you get ALL your hormones checked, sex hormones included! If your a women, even have your testosterone checked and if your a man get your estrogen checked! They can cause all kinds of problems when they are at the wrong levels. I’m always surprised that it’s not one of the first things doctors check when there are cognitive problems, thyroid especially for that. No one should ever tell you that age is causing you to feel bad or cause migraines, and just expect you to live with it. Though, for your part, eating healthy is key to feeling well!
