Over the past few months, I've noticed a decline in my cognition, mostly related to my comprehension, but also an increase in problems with word retrieval. I worry about how this will affect me at both of my jobs.
I think that stress may be the reason for some of these issues. I'm still moving forward with my divorce, but it doesn't seem to be going quick enough for me! I also got a price for my memory medication without insurance and it was around $358.00 for a one month’s supply! I cannot afford this! This is a generic drug, but it still very expensive!
I'm hoping that once the stress of the divorce and when I can get healthcare again, I will be feeling better, but there is no way of knowing if that will happen or not.
I tried spelling, reading and saying the word “jewelry “and I couldn't do it. When I tried to say the word, it didn't sound right to me. Later, I was able to figure it out.
