Dennis is convinced that he has brain lesions. He believes they are causing his repetitive words and perhaps some of his memory lapses. Don't get me wrong, he is a sharp as any regular 60+ dude with tendencies to forget the mundane. But he does have more issues with stopping his chatter, and repeats phrases until a person wants to put a hand over his mouth. And, yes, I have done that and will most likely continue to do this.
I have looked up brain lesions, and they seem harmless, for the most part. There isn't much information about Multiple System Atrophy and brain lesions, which is far from surprising. In fact, there just isn't enough accurate information about neurological orders in general. So those of us with brain disorders, and their loved ones, hunt and peck and ask around and look for anything that can be found that explain the unexplainable.
So I am asking you, out there, what you know about lesions of the brain and any experiences any of you may have with them.
Until later,
Ann and Dennis
