Interesting, what changes me the most is cognitive, fatigue and mobility, everything else is mostly invisible. The cognitive issues are more obvious, and i'm NOT in any way depressed or stressed by whats happening to me but i have lost nouns, my long and short term memory is affected and yes executive functions as well. The loss of cognitive function is most apparent to everyone including me, i am different, i'm missing a part of me that i need to be me.

Cheers....JJ
