memory
Hello.
I have Uveitis (an eye condition) which can be correlated with MS. I am 30 years old and on no medications.
Over the past year or so, I have noticed that my memory has gotten really bad. For example, someone says something to me and just a few hours later I have trouble recalling what they said. I' have always had a great memory until recently. Sometimes I also feel like I have difficulty thinking of the right word to say.

Oke so 1.5 years ago I got a very tiny piece of minth stuck in my throat. Whatever I've been trying I couldn't cought it out. I still have that feeling on the same spot now about 10 cm below the adams apple.
Since I was very young, I’ve had difficulty with remembering names. I would remember faces with ease, but would have issues recalling their actual names.
I’ve also always had major difficulty with left and right directions…but not the direction itself. I naturally have incredible sense of direction (usually nicknamed Google Maps by my friends). However, occasionally use the opposite word. Example: I will point left, but actually say right.
Suddenly over the course of 2 weeks by now i have this feeling of my memory just disappearing. I have no trouble recalling the more important events of the past week and certainly no trouble recalling events from years gone by. But for some reason I feel like my short term memory is just bad. For example I can easily remember that i saw an old lady 2 days ago that had 4 packs of medicine with her. Or how many people were waiting at the doctors office and so on.
For those of you who experience brain fog, I wanted to ask you about how your memory is. My memory has gotten a lot worse, and lately it's been kind of scaring me.
Sometimes I'll see or hear something that reminds me of something, but I just can't remember what it is. It's as if my brain says, "Oh that's familiar" and then nothing happens. I don't remember what it reminds me of.
I have memory issues big time. My long term recall is horrible, and I am finding new learning tough. I can still remember really traumatic events, but I found the other day I was recalling when my husband proposed and I can't remember if he got down on one knee or not. It was really worrisome to me. There is a site called Lumosity that has brain games that are supposed to help with memory and recall. I am going to join in the new year (once the Christmas bills are out of the way.

I blacked out prior to the accident and have no memory of anything strange or any unusual feelings prior to blacking out. The original angiogram and x-rays also show degenerative disks C5,-C6 & C7. Could this be the problem.? The doctors tell me my injuries will heal themselves but we need to find out why I blackout out. I am an otherwise very healthy 68 year old female and nothing like this has ever happen to me. We have scheduled a MRI-C-spin, MIR-Brain, MRA-Brain and MRA-Neck.
-neurologist suggested metabolic disease due to hepatitis b infection (fibrosis is around 5 percent mostly measured), disputed by all hepatitis liver doctors

-neuro-psychologist said it looks similar to depression and anhedonia, some memory results were superb, some below average
-MRI of the head shown nothing unusual

Has anyone else had their meds cause or what seems to cause short term memory loss? I told my dr about this yesterday and of course my meds were changed. Im hoping when I start the new "cocktail" next week that some of these side effects cease.
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.
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.
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 ?
Hi, my mother is 73 and has been healthy except for some minor back issues and eye degeneration. In the last 5 months, her memory had gradually become worse, repeating questions, not recalling previous conversations, confusion, etc. She wakes everyday crying and panicked. It started gradually and used to get better in the afternoon but now it is all day crying. She now has a shuffle not a walk and is stooped over. Her mouth seems to twist up.
My question is do any of you have learning/cognitive issues in how you retain, process, remember, recall of what you learned ? I am specially focused on memory, mine this past year has been seemingly slipping and I am having trouble recalling situation that I was just in or had conversation a day or two ago and can't seem to recall it. also, i am slightly dyslexic with recently diagnosed with ADHD.
I am three years out from posterior-fossa decompression surgery. Shortly after my surgery I found that I was having trouble recalling words. Lately it's gotten worse and I was wondering if it's anything I should be worried about?
I've never heard of anyone blacking out for just 20 minutes then recalling what they've done afterwards!Mine used to last many hours!Spotty recall would happen the day after with others refreshing my memory!
