I am so glad your vision is improving.

Wish I could advise you on the concentration issue. I hope you find something that helps.

I'm glad too. Not being able to see sucks.

The focusing could be the return of the migraines. Being taken off the medicine should help with focus though, this medication actually causes a loss of short term memory and concentration. But yeah the migraines can be causing it now. Hard to concentrate when you feel like someone is pounding a hammer inside your head.

I'm glad your vision is improving, even if it means you're back to having migraines.

Have you tried http://www.lumosity.com/? You can build a free account there and it's all brain training games.

I'll have to try Luminosity. I think my mom may have apps from there on her phone...I'd try asking but that suggests she understands anything about where apps come from.

I'm happy to hear the vision is improving. UGH I don't even know what to say about the focusing stuff :((((

Thanks! I know, the focus thing sucks, these meds cause loss of short term memory and concentration so being off of it should be making it better not worse so hopefully the migraines themselves are causing the problem now. Last year we tried putting me on Adderall for this problem, I don't have ADHD, it's caused by the Topamax but it was the best choice. Unfortunately Adderall and an Anxiety condition that involves panic attacks don't mix well so I had to stop.

I'm glad your vision is improving. Hopefully the doctors can keep it improving and find a way to help with your migraines as well.
