Do y’all play any brain games or puzzles to help with cognitive function and remembering your memories? Suggestions please!
I failed my 5 hour neuropsychological test sooo bad. My cognitive function is *not good*. I got medicated for ADHD, like my epileptologist said, and it’s been helpful in a lot of ways. I can mostly function at work now, but my memory is still so bad. Like so bad that I apparently can’t really form new memories. I remember big stuff, but I don’t remember what I was talking about 5 minutes ago or the TV show we’ve been binge watching for several days. Husband is like should we put the show on? I say yes but in my head I’m like *what show*. When he puts it on though, I remember the show and what it’s about and who everyone is.
Anyway, the neuro recommended some cognitive whatever therapy and brain exercising games. I’ve been playing a lot of online chess lately, but are there any games or puzzles that are specifically made to regain cognitive function and form new memories?
Neuro says it’s *not* the meds. Which is bullshit, right? Obviously seizures and being at my lifetime concussion limit are part of it, but psh the meds make all of us have goldfish brains, right? Right????
Unrelated bonus bullshit ~lady~ seizure-havers get to deal with: my male neuro said he’d like to switch me to another med because of the brain fog stuff, but I’m too young. I am 36 years old. I was like what why? And he said *because you can get pregnant*. We’re a one and done family, I would die of another pregnancy anyway, I have a 10 year non-hormonal IUD that will be getting replaced until I’m like 60, husband is getting snipped, and if I still somehow got pregnant, I would be out of state same day to get that taken care of. *I will not be having a baby under any circumstances, including if I get pregnant.* Told him that and he was like lol still no.
**TL;DR the title really says it all lol I said too many words here**
