Hi everyone

 

I'm on EnableMe quite a bit. I can say that is because as a Long Term Survivor I care about how people are after they have experienced a stroke. The complexities of how everyone is affected differently and how suffering in silence is a difficult and lonely road.

I did that for way to long - tried to soldier on when I didn't know where to turn.

Sometimes I would come across something which would "ignite"me.  I can say that about brain training games.  I did not know what a positive affect completing these games regularly would have for me.

I was even exposed to thinking computer games in re-hab when I think back.  I needed to complete a game called "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego"  I loved this as an alternative to the rote sentences I had in speech therapy.  The idea was I would need to get Carmen to the correct country to solve a mystery.  I didn't do it correctly a lot of the time, however I recall I found it stimulating.

So years later when I came across fair dinkum Brain Training Games, I devoured them.  Already a keen Sudoku puzzler, I started of not knowing what I would gain from this repetitive training.

The first thing I noticed was they improved my ability to focus,  I can say the feeling I got from doing these games repetitively especially in the first instance - it was like scratching an itch that needed to be scratched. I didn't take notice on how I compared with others, I took notice on how the game made me feel and think.

I subscribe to a popular site which keeps stats on how my performance has improved over the years, this is all as I am getting older, family life becoming more complex as kids move into adulthood and my work is consuming.

 

I have done my training today - with extra appreciation for where I know it has taken me over the years.

Hi Sue,

 

I would love to hear more about what brain training people do.

 

A while ago I spoke to someone about using jigsaw puzzles as brain training, and it worked really well for them.

 

I immediately think of online brain training - althought it doesn't have to be.

That's right Di - I down loaded and printed out the Brain Food Factory puzzles which are free on EnableMe. 

Has anybody else looked at this in the resources section?

My mother have been suffering from fibromyalgia disease for the last 3 years and had constant pain, especially in her neck,During the first year,she had faith in God that she will be healed someday by the Almighty. This disease started circulate all over my moms body and she have been taking treatment from her doctor, few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (fibromyalgia) by this man DR Abumere and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so i wrote to DR Abumere telling him about my mothers fibromyalgia disease he told me not to worry that my mom is gonna be okay with his herbal remedies!! actually i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man i went to discuss it with my mom and explain everything to her on what she is about to take in,because Dr Abumere told me my mother must stop other medication just to make sure his own work properly,she agreed because this great doctor gave me assurance about his good work.
Weeks later after my mother start using this herbal medicine she started experiencing changes all over her as the DR assured me that she will cured,after some time i went to her doctor to confirmed if she has finally healed behold it was TRUE, So dear viewers my advise is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email DR Abumere on: abumereherbalcentre@gmail.com or visit his website: www.abumereherbalcentre.simplesite.com
