Sometimes I drop my mom off and drive home, forgetting to stop at the methadone clinic. The clinic says "I haven't heard of that". I'm on 80mg. Has anyone else experienced this as fast. I am really worried, my dad died 4 years ago. From glioblastoma, which is the worst type of brain cancer and one of the symptoms is short term memory loss.
Avatar m tn After she stopped taking the pain medication (oxicodine) she has memory loss. At first it was little things, but now she does not know what year it is, how old she is, or that she just had surgery. She does have some memory, like she knows who me and my sister are and what she does for work. Another symptom is that she says her body is soar, like she lifted a bunch of weights. We are looking for any type of input/advise. Her doctors have been doing every test and scan.

Avatar m tn in comparisson to short termmemory loss and how to overcome short term memory loss without using a pill but with FAITH IN INDEPENDANCE and organizing the electrical synapses that our brains use most frequently/ rely on the most frequently.... you might need to forget some of your most valuable memories to be able to regain your short term memory... Thats how computers work... when my computer starts running out of memory it gets a case of short term memory loss on a monthly basis!
Avatar f tn The brain is a strange thing. It could be that older memories may come back as those are more firmly "embedded" so to speak which is why she could remember that one person. As for gone forever, it may return in snippets - but it all can depend on what was removed as to how much and when. Do you have photos and things to show her to jog the memory? A little bit may help, but I would not overwhelm her.

Avatar m tn Hello, I was diagnosed with syringomyelia and severe and mod stenosis. I've been doing rather well considering that they told me I would be in a wheel chair by now. Anyway I wondered if anyone else with this diagnosis has had problems with memory? My Nurse practitioner said it's normal then my wife looked it up and couldn't find anything on it. The memory loss that is. Nor could I. Any one know or have information on this topic?
609649 tn?1220529711 I was hoping for a second opinion. She has I believe a total of 8 large lesions in her brain. Along with severe headaches, memory loss, dizziness, loss of motor function, inability to pass a balance test, and her right arm is almost completely unusable. Her spinal tap for ms has come back negative and now he says there are no other options and I should not expect him to figure this out. Please help I am very concerned.
