A Virtual Classroom Serves Up Big Wins

Written by: Linda Milne

It was April 15th when I last reported about the memory impairments I experience from myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrom (ME/CFS). My symptoms, though not dementia (but ya coulda fooled me!), have left their mark on my thinking and caused me to doubt my ability to learn.

At that time I had been doing brain fitness in earnest for one year, but I still had a couple of basic questions:

Could these workouts help me recover some of my past knowledge?
And, even more important to me, could I learn new ideas and skills?

I wanted those answers., but even so, I knew I had to prepare myself for possible bad news.

I began this inquiry in earnest when I discovered a self-help course created specifically for people with ME/CFS. The 7-step online program was helping some people, to some degree, so I took the leap.

How Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Brought Me to Dakim BrainFitness in the First Place

Written by: Linda Milne

A while back, I posted about my mom and I both working at being brain fit. In my initial post, I did get a bit ahead of myself, so I’d like to share a few details about myself and a little more about ME/CFS and fibromyalgia—which are my reasons for being so keenly interested in Dakim BrainFitness.

My early life was spent in Salt Lake City, and after 40 years away in Chicago and Los Angeles, I ultimately returned home to assist my parents. My father (my “roomie” for five years) passed away in 2005. My mother, as I noted in my last post, has a joyful, productive life in southern Utah.

Fourteen years ago, I was diagnosed with an illness that I have learned I share with millions worldwide. In the U.S., it has the simplistic “non-name” of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In Europe, it’s known by a more clinically credible name: myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).

A Word From a Dakim Champ!

Written by: Linda Milne

I am fortunate to have my 87-year-old mother living and still enjoying her life. She and I live 300 miles apart, but we manage to spend time together about six times a year.

My first question each time I call her is “What’s your latest count of FreeCell victories?” This is her way to relax—FreeCell and Perry Mason reruns—and we are both convinced it is keeping her brain sharp. At last count, she had more than 19,500 victories under her belt.

FreeCell doesn’t do it for me. Truth be told, my record of wins is dismal. But Dakim BrainFitness? Now there’s my tool of choice. My love affair with this marvelous software continues. (And if my mother’s ancient computer met the tech specs needed to support Dakim BrainFitness, I would have installed it long ago for her!) I have never sat down to do my brain fitness sessions when it has not been an enjoyable pursuit.
