Memory Loss
I have a really bad memory. I’ve had it for months, and it is only getting worse. If it wasn’t so funny, I’d be really worried LOL. I really am becoming a ditz *nods* and have come to the stage where I know what I want to say but it just doesn’t come out right if at all. Take today for instance. I was at my sisters picking at some of the finger food and hubby asked me what I was eating - “um, some of that green stuff and a baby onion”. Him: Green stuff? Me: Yep. Him: Celery? Me: Nope. Him: Lettuce? Me: Nope. Him: Capsicum? Me: Nope (getting annoyed now) - the green stuff like onions. You know, with the bumps on it - mind you I am giving him that you’re an idiot look like he should know what I mean. Five minutes later, I remembered - it was a pickle LOL!! I tell him all excitedly and he shakes his head. What is with that? He wanted to know and I told him. I am really finding it hard to name things and people at the moment. I was trying to explain to hubby and my brother what I do to remember peoples names and my explanation of it puzzled them. They couldn’t understand why I make it so hard when I thought it was easy. When I meet someone for the first time I immediately think of someone I know with the same name and if I don’t know anyone with that name, I think of a famous person. Then, when I see them again, I remember their names by associating them with the person I know and/or famous person. Well it works for me LOL. Okay, that was all very confusing to type and I have read it 10 times and I think it makes sense. Oh, I need a rest now LOL …….
Barb, i have been like that since i was mid 30’s & it’s getting really bad now that i am very worried i am off to the Dr in a week & thats one thing i am telling her AGAIN it is worth talking to your Dr it may be hormonal or even that you have so much to remember these days that you just can’t remember everything . i am the same with food names or anything like that,while i was reading i kept thinking yep that’s me & it gets embarrassing. so I’m sure there are plenty of people that know exactly what your saying
My memory has never held much information for very long… at the moment I have a lot of trouble remembering what day of the week it is, which doesn’t look good when your four year old asks you and it takes you a few minutes to work out the answer
Maybe it’s a 30’s thing? I used to have a great memory for little details but now I can’t remember anything! Perhaps an early case of dementia is attacking AFW members? Just dunno!
You know, that happened to me too, but I have found it gets a LOT better when I eat properly. Lots of lean protein and vegies.
The few times that I ahve dieted properly (not stupid diets, goode ating type diets) my mind is a lot clearer and I think a lot faster.
The sex is better too
Well I’m stuffed then because I eat nothing but lean protein and vegies LMAO. I personally think I need more sun! LOL
