I think the biggest challenge in identifying how big the cognitive disorder is as a side effect is the average age at which people are using this drug. Not to offend anyone, but when I was getting my infusion, most all of the people in the room were over 70. If this same thing happens to them...the Dr;s simply say they are old. I was 42. I was sometimes unaware of my surroundings...where am I? Oh, I am at WalMart...but what city? Why am I here? I had over two years of these types of experiences. I lost my Corporate job, which I cannot do anymore. I now can paint. I lost nearly everything including friends, family and started over...the good news is that it's not the terminal side effect. I struggle with it somedays but hope that this blog will warn or confirm others with questions about why they too may be suffering from cognitive disorder from this drug.
