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 Hello, I am wondering if anybody has a suggestion of medications that work to help with memory problems associated with SCT that will not cause more memory problems or possible brain damage with long term use?
Avatar m tn If it is part of a longstanding pattern of learning or memory problems, you may have a disability. If so, a psychologist can test you to learn more. It may also be that your current program may not be a good match for your strengths and weaknesses, perhaps it is time to take a reduced course load or rethink your choice of major.
Avatar m tn I have made some recovery in my speech, reflexes, problem solving, eyesight problems, vestibular issues, physical injuries and limitations as well as some hand coordination but I am still having very severe memory retention and recall issues/ concentration problems. Mainly short term although my long term memories are damaged as well, its just kind of difficult to remember what i cant remember lol.
Avatar n tn If her skills are truly on level of a child in pre-K, then this sounds like more than just a memory problem. Discrete memory problems are fairly rare unless there is a neurological issue.

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 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.
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!
1260255 tn?1288654564 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.
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.
Avatar f tn 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.
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 f tn That is pretty common, i know people who have had bad wrist problems while breast feeding. All our tendons losen, so it makes sense. I'd ice it to keep it from getting swollen and try not to sleep on it.
Avatar f tn Yes, definitely MS can cause urinary retention and bed wetting. I've had problems with retention, and urge incontinence (wetting myself when I cough, sneeze, or throw up.) I think I also have problems with fully emptying my bladder, as I've had more UTIs recently.
Avatar f tn I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Well, yes, to some extent, a serious head injury can affect your memory and cognitive skills over a period of time. However, some of the symptoms can also be due to lack of motivation in life. At times depression too can cause memory lapses and cognitive decline. Hence, it is important to consult a psychiatrist to get this evaluated.
Avatar n tn Hi and welcome. Are you female or male?
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone has added natural suplements and if they have found that it alleviates some of the symptoms of Hashimoto's. (swelling, weight gain, fatigue, memory loss) If you have used supplements, what which ones and how did they help?
414131 tn?1202530891 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.
804276 tn?1480858056 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.
1399170 tn?1333845258 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.
963268 tn?1312900315 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!
5110781 tn?1378361950 I've gained almost 60lbs with this pregnancy... I'm not happy about it. I eat rationally and healthy for the majority and have my "treats" here and there but still packed on the pounds. I am very upset about it as well but I know me..and I know that once baby comes and I can be my active self again that I will get back to my 140s.
2185646 tn?1339369743 The cons says that my bladder dont work correctly. Will I allways be in retention and have to be cathed. I am so fed up with the bladder pain destended tummy not being to empty my bladder.
Avatar m tn 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?
