Re:Subject Re: Do most CFS sufferers have cognitive impairment......mem

[Guest guest]

I called this change in brain fuction 'scrambled brain syndrome'. When I

met with Dr Cofford at the U of MI for ten minutes a couple of years ago she

called it a disregulation of the executive function of the brain.

I used to be bright and functional. Pushing through just does not do it and

yields bad results for me.

I just completed a full time MBA at a good business school and came

1st in class with distinction. Some days I felt overwhelmed, easily

distracted and lack the ability to write good flowing assignments

without considerable editing however things worked out well and my

confidence in my intellectual abilities has been restored. They are

all still in there somewhere, we just need to work harder to get

through the white noise of ME/CFS

Janice Kennedy from Truckee High School was quite literally

expressing the situation.

People lost their jobs because they couldn't perform tasks they knew

like the back of their hand.

Everyone one of us got lost at some point, trying to find out way

home.

Really scary. As all the " Good doctors " said over and over, they had

never seen anything like it before.
