CJ,
What I --forgot-- to mention in my post was the most important thing I was going to say. Aricept or one of the other anticholinesterase inhibitors such as Excelon may help. The most respected psychopharm/mood disorders expert in my region of the country told me that they could improve cognitive functioning regardless of the cause. Excelon works best for me. Currently I'm not taking it because of some side effects, but that is too long a story to go into here.
I have jury duty tomorrow and am hoping to get disqualified because I worry about not being able to follow the arguments and remember who said what, etc. It is too embarrassing to tell them I am cognitively impaired or have bipolar disorder. On the otherhand, I think I have as much common sense and concern for justice as anyone.
