4 years ago I started to have memory issues, for a long time I managed to function with the cognitive decline, by keeping myself occupied with hobbies and college classes, but you cannot fight these diseases forever they always win.Recently I have begun to have serious symptoms like heat intolerance and I was diagnosed by a doctor with autonomic dysfunction.This is very reassuring because it could lead to diagnosing the illness(brain disease).Recently I have begun to have a lot of difficulty focusing and have become apathetic I am fairly confident it is just a symptom of the cognitive decline, but I know I have to keep my mouth shut for as long as possible or else I could be misdiagnosed and I will get ineffective treatments. I really don't know what to do I am unable to participate in any of my favorite activities like reading or even video games, because I cannot focus so most of the day I sit and do nothing.I guess I should try an antidepressant but I am pessimistic about if it will even help me.
If an antidepressant manages to buy me some time I will have to diagnose the neurological disease as fast as possible, by looking into the POTS and the heat intolerance.
