I was sorry to read that. Scar tissue formation interferes with regrowing neurons there. The normal inflammatory response is bad news with any transection of the spinal cord. I believe that they have tried giving high dose corticcosteroids for acute injuries, but no luck.

The best way to feel smarter is to talk to a liberal. You come away from the conversation feeling like a genius.

Type 2 here. The “business” one. The first meds I took really messed with my short term memory. I had to do water tests where I had to put 5 drops into the test tube. I’d forget in the middle of that simple test, how many drops I’d put in! Changed to Metformin, and my memory was not being effected anymore, but I don’t think I’ve recovered from the first meds. I changed my diet, and got down to “borderline,” and take no meds now.
