Does anyone have any experience with some return of working memory with treatment?
There might ve some improvement with medication for some people.

And some training may improve working memory, although there seems to be some disagreement about how much.

Treatment helps with using your working memory better, as well as working around its limitations better. Unfortunately this gets harder to change as you get older.
ADHD medication can help a lot too (assuming you have ADHD). It doesn't improve memory directly, but can cut down the constant "noise" in your head. This makes fixing memories easier.
