She was in the hospital 5 days,her blood pressure,blood work,everything looks good which is very weird!Other then that she was conscious all the time,no memory loss or anything like that.
My question is why the docs didn't give her any medication while in the hospital or after?
The reason that I have a fear of more memory damage or brain damage from certain meds or supplements is that while searching for medications and supplements to help with memory I have come across information that certain medications like aderall and others plus different types of supplements can actually cause memory damage with long term use, plus I already have memory problems and I don't need more and I am on other medications for other diseases that will have adverse effects when taken
Amazing! Thank you for the feedback. What sort of treatment did your sweety-pie have? The problem most troubling to see right now (three weeks after the stroke) is her extreme agitation: picking at and removing her clothes, tossing and turning, pulling off the diaper, and trying to remove the catheter, which would no doubt be the worst of these behaviors.
s currently developing a device to help aid people who have memory loss or forgetfulness. My aim is towards the elderly to help them with natural forgetfulness but also to serious deseases such as Dementia.
So If you yourself have memory loss or your Family Member or Partner does I would really appreciate your input so I can try and provide aid.
Please complete one of these quick 3 minute surveys that applies to you, thanks in advance.
Survey #1 You have Memory Loss : bit.
If all brain related causes (transient ischemic attack, disorders of hypothalamus, dementia and multiple sclerosis, head injury etc) are ruled out then Vit B12 deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disorders (by sleep studies), depression, use of certain drugs, and certain types of seizures (where memory loss is the predominant symptom) should be investigated for as the cause of memory loss.
That's so good you have a sense of humor about it. Now it'll always be a story that makes you laugh, a good funny memory of pregnancy!!
A close family member was told by his nuerologist "the memory part of brain is shrinking on both sides". He then set up an appointment with a sychiatrist. My question is why a sychiatrist.
Furthermore, depressed elderly individuals have been found to report more subjective memory complaints in the absence of the frequent objective memory problems reported for demented individuals. I would recommend a diagnostic evaluation by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. This may also assist you in developing healthy ways of supporting him. But bear in mind that his diabetes could have a significant impact on his mood if not well controlled, so this needs attention too.
By the way, a good friend of mine was gunned down in the line of duty, responding to a domestic dispute. As he and his partner arrived and approached the residence, they were fired upon by an "aspiring rapper" named Amir Rasheed Crump.
Crump had been in trouble with the law before for domestic disputes and drug offenses. I don't remember what happened to Crump and I don't care.
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! i compress all the old files/ delete some of them i dont need that essay i wrote last year anymore i just give it away.... i know its some where with someone but im not going to worry about some nonsense from a few years ago...i just hide it....
0 for a couple of tests in a row. Some of her dementia and confusion may improve once her hormones are back where they should be.
It might be helpful (depending on the situation) if you could take her to her appointments, as you probably know a bit more about the thyroid than your Father, and can discuss levels with her doctor, in case he thinks a TSH of 4.0 is close enough.
If all brain related causes (transient ischemic attack, disorders of hypothalamus, dementia and multiple sclerosis, head injury etc) are ruled out then Vit B12 deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disorders (by sleep studies), depression, use of certain drugs, and certain types of seizures (where memory loss is the predominant symptom) should be investigated for as the cause of memory loss. Apart from sleep studies, EEG, you may need cognitive tests. Please consult a neuropsychiatrist.
I am 30 yr old professional now, but have a history of illicit drug use as an adolescent. Those drugs included moderate use of alcohol and marijuana. I had also abused acid, meth, cocaine, and huffed butane but not so much as to call a habit. I also boxed as an amateur off and on for the past 5 yrs. I have an incredibly bad short term memory issue to such an extent that I can't retain the info taken in for 30 sec to 1 min later. This is not with all subjects though.
Although she is in age of 80s and most common memory problems come with this elderly age as an Alzheimer’s disease, but it is essential other possibilities of memory loss and other symptoms like hormonal imbalance, stress/depression, and vitamin deficiency need to be evaluated thoroughly. In this disease, normal day-to-day activities have been affected more than memory loss. Therefore, I would suggest consulting a doctor to rule out other possibilities first with the help of doctor.
2) Is there anything else I can do that will improve my brain function? 3) What type of brain scan will show the damage I may have caused and how much does that cost?
One more thing to add- I was on an antidepressant from 23YO-28YO. I also had severe sleep apnea that was successfully treated with surgery. I am currently overweight 5'6" 202lbs (weight gained from Antidepressant use). 50lbs gained within 1.5 years of starting treatment.
