Re: Cognitive Rehabilitation

Thanks, Liz - I learn a lot from your posts. Given enough time I can still write, but I do have much more difficulty now with very concentrated analytical scientific information and being able to retain the exact terminology well enough to be able to discuss it clearly. The value of any insight I have is in large part due to the extended length of time I've had after diagnosis to examine the information everyone provides here, which I think is true for some others like DLaxague as well.

We need carefully documented clinical trials that follow patients from diagnosis through the years.
