IsoM,
Hey, I am feeling a lot more hopeful. I went to the web site you told me about and read about H.E. symptoms, some of which are similar to mine. I joined their list, and I exchanged emails with a woman who was diagnosed with H.E. at my age. She had a similar experience, with dr's not really understanding what was going on because she had been so smart to begin with that even 'brain damaged' her i.q. was normal. BUT they gave her a SPEC scan, which I haven't had, and that helped pinpoint the problem. Once she started treatment, she felt 90% back to normal in 6-8 weeks.
So, it's not what I would have wished for myself, but I'm starting to feel that I can get through this and live a fulfilling life despite illness.
Next week I'm going to the doctor with as much info on h.e. as I can bring with me; I'm also going to bring this woman's email message to me describing what she went through.
Thanks so much for listening,
