Avatar n tn One is if you have hypothyroid or Hashimoto's disease, which both mean your thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone, and thus you can get that collection of problems. So, visiting an endocrinologist and getting your thyroid tested is how to find out if it's your thyroid doing all this to you. Two is if you are taking some sort of medication that is giving you these as side effects, so you would review any drug you're on and see if you need to have it changed.

Avatar f tn How old is your son? Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? I wouldn't pull any adult teeth unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the wisdom teeth could potentially fill in that space but there are complications with that. As the wisdom teeth come in, they don't move sideways into the space but rather, they tilt in and lean in sideways which causes problems with the jaw bone.
Avatar f tn As a child, I was diagnosed with ADD and depression, but I thought they went away. Lately, I have been having problems remembering things, lately being a few years. I was in a bad car accident and that was when it came to my attention. I'm not sure if I have always had this problem, but I know I have had some hard blows to the head in my life. My mind is all mixed up all the time. My thoughts are jumping from thing to the next and I end up forgetting what I was thinking just a second ago.
Avatar f tn It certainly sounds like a head injury to me. The good side of this is, she's young, and minor head injuries in young people can heal better than in adults. You need to have her see a head injury therapist. There are cognitive things she can do to improve her behaviors and memory. Best wishes.
Avatar n tn She discusses early diagnosis in young children as well as the diagnosing of older children, young adults, and adults. Dr. Shaywitz explains why some bright adults can read only very slowly, and what they can do about it. Her book makes clear how the latest research, including new brain imaging studies, is uncovering the mechanisms underlying dyslexia and has led to effective treatments for each age group. Dr.
280234 tn?1532986249 I was wondering if any other young adults have been diagnosed with colon polyps? I'm a 34/f who was recently diagnosed with a 1.1 cm "Tubulovillous adenoma" during a colonoscopy (was seeing blood/mucous in stool for about 6 months). The lab report came back that it was benign, and my GI doctor said follow up with him in 3 years. From what my GI doctor told me, and what I've read about these, they are considered precancerous. Following up in 3 years makes me nervous.
11942496 tn?1422621070 "Recovered memories" have been proven to be false, across the board. Recovering memories were kind of a thing in the 1980s but they're not true, despite how true they feel. In cases where children suppress memories of horror while adults know the truth, the children virtually never "recover" the memory at all correctly.
Avatar f tn Well, I'm glad I'm not alone in the memory department. Not that I would wish any one on this post, especially you Dave, to have memory problems, but at least I feel more assured that it is normal. Thanks for responding.
676143 tn?1312941771 So does anyone else have problems with memory lately? I feel like the baby is sucking my brain away. I keep forgetting so many little things. Luckily, it hasn't gotten me in to too much trouble yet - but one of these days I am going to forget something really important!
Avatar m tn And I feel like I have forgotten everything I spent the past 3-4 years paying to learn ! I was an honours student in undergrad and never had memory problems before. I am also having huge problems concentrating on what people are saying to me. It's like I am not listening no matter how hard I try to listen my brain wanders off into zombie land. And I am only 29. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to regain one's memory and concentration ?
Avatar m tn It sounds like you may be having some work problems. That can cause stress and the memory problems too.
Avatar f tn I have FM for over 12 years now, I've read numerous books, I belong to the National Fibromyalgia Network, The Fibromyalgia Association, and follow the latest research on many aspects of FM. These include, medical and pharmaceutical research. There is NO evidence that people with FM have brains that age faster. There is a neurological aspect to FM that can affect our brains. Our neurotransmitters may not be firing right to put it simply.
1830047 tn?1321667793 A doctor once explained to me that a particular anasthetic works like that. Consciousness and recording of memory are two different functions in the brain. She told me what I said while coming out of the anaesthetic, and I had absolutely no memory until a couple minutes later in the recovery room. I am a recent addition to this forum...Just out of curiosity, have you been checked out for Lyme Disease yet? What are your symptoms?
Avatar m tn Psychiatrists and psychologists are the professionals with the best skill set for coming up with practical ideas about how you can overcome your symptoms. Among adults in particular, ADHD is highly likely to co-occur with anxiety and learning problems. The distractability of ADHD makes it even harder to turn your attention away from intrusive thoughts and urges (such as the urge to pick your scalp). You are not alone in having both conditions.
Avatar f tn I have the exact problem. I have ADHD. I dont remember a lot before the age of 13, from then I had to mostly relearn everything I had learned in my younger years. Now I find it hard to remember anything I read, listen to, or try and study. I feel lost and confused since I am only 19 with this type of problem.
1580703 tn?1651904887 is there another option for asthma meds like theophylline or albuterol, xopenex, combivent without side effects as bad? singulair helps also. I'm interested in foradil, but is this the same med in symbicort?
Avatar m tn History is replete with stories of unusual behavior in children and adults being ascribed to "the devil," to "ghosts and evil spirits," and to sundry other occult causes. Occasionally, we still read today of well-meaning people subjecting others to exorcisms--even in the western world. Usually, these events come to our attention when the person being cured ends up dead. The death is often followed by criminal charges being laid--and so it should be.
1318483 tn?1318347182 In teens and young adults (male and female), costalchondritis (Inflammation of the cartilage of the rib cage) is a common cause of chest pain. PTSD by itself could explain headaches, memory loss and poor sleeping patterns.
Avatar n tn It seems to me from reading information on the Internet that young adults are taking longer to grow up, but how long do you put up with stuff like this before you're enabling them? How do I proceed with her? We expected more from her, and I know she's capable and of course I don't care what her friends' parents are allowing their kids to do.
Avatar n tn I would like to add that many young adults in school get tired from so much studying and this can cause a lapse in memory. I can recall falling asleep during an exam! The best thing you can do to prevent your symptoms is to spend some time away from the books and go out and exercise, which will relieve stress and help you sleep better. You will more than double your memory power by doing this, so do not worry about "wasting time" by regularly being physically active.
