I have written many other pages and sites that deal with the other aspects of my disabilities. This section is about the cognitive impairments - trouble thinking and remembering, aka "brain fog" - that I have as part of my disabilities and how I help myself to deal with them by using computers and the Internet, and also how I set up my computer to make it as easy as possible for me to use it, despite my cognitive impairments.
Trouble with thinking and remembering can be part of other disabilities than mine though. Disabilites that have thinking and remembering troubles as part of their symptoms can include:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia
- Stroke
- Psychiatric Disabilities (often here, the thinking problems scan be a side-effect of the medications too)
- Many diseases of old age, such as Alzheimer's Disease
... and this is by no means a complete list.
