I track my progress and its very discouraging because i'll have days where I feel fine physically but terrible cognitive wise, and then I will have days where I feel horrible physically and fine cognitive wise!

It's the worst! Does anybody experience similar patterns?!
HAPPY SUNDAY!

Yes, it's very normal. It's maddening! Although cognitively I'm usually always struggling. I notice the good physical days more because I get things done and enjoy just being alive. lol!
I've learned to laugh at myself at the cognitive stuff. Everyone in my house helps me find words. Even my kids! Obviously some cognitive symptoms are worse than others but the word finding one is the most amusing one.

For months my husband's job was to "fill in the blanks." I could not for the life of me think of even the simplest words. It was scary for me.

Just hang in there and it will change with treatment.

Yes, it's very common for there to be patterns to our good and bad days, and for this to change around as well. The hope is that we get to where we have more good days than bad, but it can take a while, and progress is a LOT slower than we want it to be - always!

Keeping track of the good days and bad though will allow you to see patterns as well as see improvements overall.
