I found your blog tonight and I have decided that simply driving a vehicle is multi-tasking. In my husband's truck today, with clutch, gears, and in heavy traffic -- it was just brain overload!<br /><br />I was already overwhelmed after a doctor's visit and a foreboding sense of what part of me is going to fall apart next. My MRI results show my liver is twice normal size with cysts, but also they found something wrong with my bone marrow. And shows arthritis in my lumbar spine, that's how I found your blog.<br /><br />I am only 51 and have always been healthy as a horse! I find there are new areas where I no longer feel competent for even single-tasking. I was thinking it was the depression combined with this liver disease which contributed to the brain fog where I can no longer connect the dots. I noticed my memory issues became more prominent when I was diagnosed with diabetes, but now I am thinking…menopause and the social isolation you discussed, as I cannot readily think of the words I need to say. How long does menopause normally last?<br /><br />So, I hope there is help for me. I love your blog and although I use Facebook (“what is the word”…oh, exclusively), I will try to find you on Twitter...but NOT at the same time!<br />Thanks for listening,<br /><br />LexyG.<br />depression<br />2006-PBC Stage 3 w/fatty liver<br />2007-quit smoking<br />2008-diabeticLexyGnoreply@blogger.com
