I have gone through an MRI recently and was amazed at the size of the damaged right front lobe on my brain. I guess I've done very well considering 40 years ago I fractured my skull in two places in a horseback riding accident. I was always told the damaged spot was much smaller. I had testing for Alzheimer’s at the Memory Clinic about a month ago and I did Great; 29 out of 30 correct..so, 'no Alzheimer’s'.. I had an EEG and my electrical activity is doing something strange in the Temporal lobe area? They suggested I try an anti-epileptic medication. I don’t want too. I am not thinking as sharp as I used too. The fog comes and goes.. Not near as focused or aware of details as before. I fight off anxiety/panic as I fear I have the start of early on-set dementia. I am eating right (high antioxidant brain foods..6,000 U. Vit D. ), trying to exercise when I can and I just worry, worry, worry. I've cut down on my work load and that has helped with the stress. Mostly I feel like I am hanging on waiting for the true problem to finally become obvious. Other times I feel close to normal and clear thinking. Been having mental processing problems like this for about a year, progressively. Do have a life long history of stress and anxiety in my life. I so want this to be 'emotional' only. Any particular form of meditation I should do, or therapy? Any groups I should join for support that you know of? I really appreciate your newsletters. I live
