The New Me

by Richard 11/3/17

 

For me, so much has changed. I have very little if any short-term memory. I can't multi-task. I have issues with crowds, bright lights, loud noises, and telling time. I have come to the mindset that I don't have to like "The New Me" but I have to live with him.

Stress and TGA

by Diane 11/28/17

TGA Details Before I Forget Them by Jane 3/10/18

 

Thought I’d better write down the details re: my episode of TGA before I forget it (small chance of that happening, right?) I prefer the word unique!

 

Some Thoughts About TGA

by Cheryl 12/7/17

 

However, as most recant on here, during an episode, it's a calm, non-stressful experience even with all the repetitive questions.

 

Climb Every Mountain

by Susan 4/23/18

 

I have no idea whether I am about to ascend toward blazing colors of the autumn years of life, or about to descend into the netherworld of dementia. Today I will attend to today.

 

Did We Just Have Sex?

by Lynda 10/18/18

 

On May 5th, 2018 my life threw us a curveball that could not be explained nor would anyone be able to tell me things I could do that would prevent another occurrence. Moving forward can be hard to do because of the self-doubt, lack of focus, word searching, fear.....the list just goes on.
