@pb50 Pam, this is great! I’m so relieved that the neurologist spent enough time with you to get a real sense of your concerns. Did the neurologist give you a Mini-Mental Exam or the Montréal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)? These are both quick cognitive screeners but they are just that. A screening test to help figure out if more testing is warranted. Anyway, the MRI and neuropsych testing will be far more helpful in figuring out your cognitive changes that you describe so well here.

I’m so glad you have a plan. I’m going to look up the vitamins and minerals that you are tested for. Thank you for posting that.

What’s next? Working on the changes in your diet? I’ve done the same on the advice of nutritionists I have seen. It’s a challenge and one nutritionist advised me that if I’m about 80% compliant with the healthy diet I’m doing really well. That was encouraging as I tend to beat myself up if I “go off the rails” and eat something from the unhealthy list of foods.

What kind of exercise do you like to do?
