memory problems postpartum

Recent history, i started having panic attacks and having problems with cognition and memory, and my mood swings were causing alot of problems in my marriage. I went to the dr, he gave me an ADHD test, tested my thyroid. (My mother had depression, my brother has depression, my uncle gets panic attacks, and my grandfather on my fathers side had schizophrenia. I also had bad postpartum depression with both my kids) He put me on Prozac, Ritalin and some Seroquel.

It sounds like you may be having some work problems. That can cause stress and the memory problems too.

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.

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.

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!

I've read people mentioning memory problems, but have not seen one type of memory problem discussed. Do any of you have problems where your memory does not store information? There are numerous occasions when I have absolutely no recall of conversations. This happened several weeks ago when my son called me at work. He told me that the grill was corroded at the bottom. I have no recall of this whatsoever, but his girlfriend was sitting next to him and vouches for him.

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.

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.

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 ?

exhaustion but difficulty sleeping, but if allowed can sleep for hours and hours, severe hair loss, extreme irritability, depression (not postpartum), dry itchy skin, severe Cold intolerance, occasional palpitations, recently began chest tightness, difficulty concentrating on one thing, severe memory problems.. I am only 27 I seem to be stuck at the same weight too.. diet and exercise didnt help but I am not overweight... 115 lbs 5'2... 8 months postpartum..

re theoretically suffering from hyperthyoidism--your thyroid is producing massive quantities of hormones that your pituitary is picking up on from the bloodstream, giving it no reason to tell your thyroid to produce more hormones by releasing TSH. Either that, or your pituitary gland is having problems with regulating the production and secretion of TSH; however, this is less likely. Definitely get to an endocrinologist ASAP so you can be treated and start to feel better!

I am experiencing various problems mostly with memory. I am 49 and was diagnosed a year ago with diabetes. My A1C was 6.5. I was very tired. I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. All I had to do is sit down and start to relax. My brain was not working so well either. My memory was becoming almost a thing of the past. I was having what I call random access bad sectors. It would strike randomly and I never knew if I would recover what I just forgot.

i have had really bad memory problems for most of my life and was wondering if my conditions could cause this. i have points in my life, many, that i just don't remember at all and they aren't bad situations. everything from what i ate yesterday to a family member coming to visit from out of town, years ago, but i don't remember it ever happening. i'm so afraid of alzheimers when i get older but i don't think my memory problems fits alzheimers.

Hi, My name is Mike, and I'm 15 years old. For the past few years I have been experiencing memory problems. I don't forget serious things like names, just small things like homework, things I've said a few days before, even things I ate on the same day sometimes.

up difficult time remebering simple things. So.im wondering if this is the chari or something else and if.it is chari, will i ever get my memory back or are they gone forever??? Thanks.from a sad mommy...

I have mobility problems, and I've had cognitive problems - of the two, I'd much rather have problems with mobility. Although it makes things tough sometimes!

Memory problems and/or "brain fog" are a very common symptom of hypo. However, as you mention, other scripts, etc. can also be to blame. If you'd post your most recent FT3, FT4 and TSH with reference ranges (ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report), we can take a look and see if you look like your meds are well adjusted for you. Do you have other hypo symptoms as well? What thyroid meds do you take and dose? What other meds are you taking?

I am at the early stages of PPT (I also have postpartum anxiety) my endocrinologist put me on Tapazole 2 weeks ago. I have a mild soar throat but I believe it's merely the remnants of a cold. However, I am losing an insane amount of hair, above the average hair loss due to postpartum. Is this the combo of thyroid, meds and postpartum... I'm on tapazole 10mg daily dose. Is there something I can do? I had my blood work done on Friday and WBC was normal... does it fluctuate easily?

Anyone else have problems with their gallbladder after giving birth? I've been in so much pain. Probably gonna have to get it removed.

Hey its likely to be post natal / postpartum depression a very common depression after a baby is born.
