Further Information
I have had two surgeries, beyond my brain tumor resection. One was Appendectomy when I was 6 years old while the other was a Hernia when I was 40 year old.
Some therapies that I’ve tried didn’t work for me, and I thought to share it just in case you wanted to know what have been tried.
I wake up with good general power, then two hours down the road, I become fatigued (and hence I always work from home knowing it will be otherwise difficult).
That did not improve when I was on Ketogenic Diet (fasting in the morning), nor when I wasn’t on the Ketogenic diet.
Does eating make me improve? No. Supplements? No. Exercise? No
I then get better near 9 PM. I have the energy again, but no improvement in the mental capabilities.
Beginning in July 2019, I found that the seizures were significantly controlled/reduced by introducing CBD and few Supplements.
Quick History
It is important to note that this has got worsened in the
last 2 years (2017 to 2019). So, today, I am doing worse
than I was doing post-surgery.
This is the Most Challenging/Critical
I have developed slower abilities to save new words or subjects, regardless of language. Noticeably, when I’m
reading the content within Information Technology (my original subjective), then I will be doing “okay”.
If the content is on a completely fresh subject, I would suffer from mental fatigue anywhere between 1 min to 15
min of reading.
It’ll shard to list the subject of a talk in sequence at the end of a meeting. However, if I’m giving time (minutes or
hours), I may remember a good portion of it on the same day. Next days, I cannot remember that unless I’m given
hints Self-distracting thoughts during conversations most of the time.
I struggle with spelling for words that I never had before in the past.
Tossing names in another challenge too. I also often find myself frustrated following my surgery when I mix up the
the spelling of words, such as “write” and “right”.
I have listed examples of my brain challenges. You can see them here.
For a list of select symptoms over the many years, I have compiled an overview of this information for quick
review.
A recent Cognition Assessment Test conducted on 7/2019 shows that there are major challenges requiring attention.
That probably shows the same outcome that I had when I conducted the Gibson Cognitive Skills Assessment back in
2013 which showed similar poor outcomes.
