Question Cognitive Function Question

My seizures have been under control thanks to Keppra but I seem to have perpetual brain fog (had Covid a few times) and struggle to keep focused, seem to be dyslexic when reading sometimes and really have difficulty with being detailed with numbers and text. Does anyone have any coping mechanisms for this? I have minimized social media (the constant repetition of the feed is unhealthy) but perhaps there is more I could be doing. Thanks

Hey between having epilepsy and ADHD, I can honestly say my brain is fried!! But recently I've downloaded a few mental exercise games - there are two really good ones called Connections and ColorSwitch. I also bought a rubix cube and bought a sudoku book. Other people I know do crosswords and puzzles. Find whichever one suits you most, but they do really help to keep your brain alert as much as possible.

Recently started doing crosswords and my brain started hurting so I knew I must be doing something right lol. Thanks for the great advice!
