Lyme disease, cognitive impairment and the battle for words .

I search the internet for words to help ,so my ,clients , friends and family can understand what damage has happen to my brain because of late stage nuerological Lyme disease. These are things I struggle with daily . It's very hard for me to write this , as I am a prideful person , but I am ready and I want to be part of life again , and communicate with others, to laugh again , and create my beloved art work . 

* cognitive impairment .....I may not understand what you are saying to me , you may need to say it in 

                                         Different way . 

* attention and memory loss ....there is no way I will understand you if you talk fast and I may need to  

                                                 Write things down as I forget a lot of information . 

*slow process speed .....I can not answer you fast and may need help along the way 

*word finding difficulty .....this is a big one for me , I have a very hard time with finding words . They 

                                         Seem loss and come out wrong 

*auditory processing difficulties .... If there is music or noise in the back ground , I may not understand 

                                                      Your words 

* Mental Flexibility .... I can not multi task , it is so very hard for me 

*speed of information processing .... Please talk slow and clearly for me to understand you . 

* language ..... When I write the written word ,  I may skip words and spell things wrong . You may 

                         Need to read between the lines . I am always open to questions at any time about anything .
