Cognitive deficits advice

I’ve realised since my diagnosis my cognitive ability has decreased drastically! Does anyone have any techniques or exercises they do that help ?
@IslandCat

I use brain games on my phone. Sudoku, crosswords, word searches, etc. I do easy levels just to keep Me interested. Good luck.

The best thing is to keep your brain busy. I noticed a decline in my cognitive abilities recently and since have picked up reading again and learning the piano. I also play a lot of games on my phone and my ps4 that require quick-thinking, co-ordination etc. Since starting to read again, in particular, I feel more "with it" than I have in years. I find conversation easier with less pauses, less difficulty finding words and my vocabulary is better, too. As the saying goes, "If you don't use it, you lose it". Hope this helps.
