I don't have dementia. I do have some cognitive issues because of my MS and Neurontin. Sage was helping with that but I had to start taking it.

Take as much time as you need to care for yourself. Post when you can and just read to "stay in the loop", when you don't feel up to posting.
I'll add my prayers to everyone else's that your health issues improve and you're back with us soon, spreading that sparkling positivity!

@SandySparkles . I'm so sorry you are having these confounding health struggles. Amazing that you carry on in the superlative way you do, with all that weighing on you. You have clearly always been a "high-functioning" individual, in all the best senses.
I will pray that you will find the best possible answers and healing that you seek. And relief from anquish. As far as posting, we are so glad to have you here in any form-- you do not have to reach any 'standards' of participation of any kind, other than bringing your welcome, always-enhancing presence. Suspend any ideas of pressure of any kind. Enjoy your time just reading, and when ever you want to jump back in, in any form, the forum is here.
I appreciate the excellent strategies that posters have made concerning mental stimulation as we age and evolve-- important for all of us, diagnosed or not.

Look at all of these beautiful responses!
Very encouraging to all who post here!
I wanted to add that when I think back to the days of my grandmother living by herself at my age now, I remember how little she had access to in comparison to my daily life.
Her diet consisted of the sparse number of groceries that she could afford.
She was an avid tv watcher and knew more than I ever did about world current events which I admired. Her small rent-controlled apartment was very nice but it's amazing that she could walk up and down the narrow steps every day.
She didn't drive and grocery delivery service was unknown.
All of this is to say that sometimes I need to take account of my blessings...even though life can present me with hardships occasionally!
