Avatar f tn ve seen recommendations to get private long-term care/disability insurance if you suspect you have the disease, but are not dx yet. What is this process like? I can't in good concience lie, but currently my only (relevant) dx is complicated migraine (I also have celiac disease but am on a GF diet). Part of me is having a really hard time even thinking about getting long-term care insurance because I can't stand the thought of being disabled (who can?
Avatar f tn Custodial care (NON-SKILLED care) is care that helps you with activities of daily living which is what long-term care provides for i.e. dressing, bathing etc. Medicare pays only for medically necessary SKILLED nursing facility or home health care. However, you must meet certain conditions for Medicare to pay for these types of care.
10169340 tn?1415846161 I have posted here before and never thought of to ask, I have CM1 and CCI ( still waiting on insurance to approve surgery) but have had in the past year really bad short term memory loss as well as the dizziness...does anyone else have this? I have been to several doctors since August a headace specialist and a NS ..They say it is not related to the Chiari...but could not tell me what it is from...and honestly the 2 of them could not get me out of their office fast enough.
Avatar f tn It is basically a softening of the brain matter as a result of an ischemia or infarction, degenerative changes, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss. Certain types of epilepsies and seizures and sleep disturbances too cause short term memory loss along with tiredness or fatigue. Chronic infections too are known to precipitate memory loss. For this you can try yoga and meditation.
Avatar n tn She went to the state board that mediates disputes between patients and insurers. The board ruled in her favor, that her insurance company had to cover her long term abx. Also, I have read that the CA forest ranger featured in "Under Our Skin" had to sue his insurance company to get them to pay for his treatment. He won. These precedents will help get you coverage, but you still may have to advocate for yourself. And some companies will be much worse than others.
Avatar f tn It is my opinion if you are a long term legally prescribed opiate user and are not impaired you should be able to drive. I think law enforcement looks at it differently. I pray every time I get behind the wheel. I function fine with my opiates. They do not make me "high." But under the legal definition of impaired, I am. I am hopeful others will have a better response to your question.
Avatar m tn I should add that it was 2 years ago I had the first 3 tests and just had the most recent IGG test last week. I went to the doctor this week and he did another IGG test and I have been having some recurring inflamattion on my tounge and in my mouth. Looking at the inflamattion the doctor did not feel it was herpes and was not going to do any testing until I pretty much begged him to just for my piece of mind.
Avatar n tn I am having problems with cognitive skills I am 43 and feel like I am 70 I find myself having problems forming sentences and reaching for words, basic math skills and my short term memory although always affected has become pretty bad I will forget anything. I could live with most of it but the pain is something else. my family talked me into going into the hospital lol what a joke. Doctor says sorry there is nothing we can do for you!
Avatar n tn have daily short/long term memory loss for past 8 months that aware of... with this memory loss go away....?
Avatar f tn Drug studies are only 4 to 8 weeks long I doub't there have ever been any long term (more than a year) studies on the long term use of gabapentin. For any one who is having trouble tapering off of gabapentin a magnesium supplement is very effective in reducing the severity of the withdrawal from gabapentin.
Avatar n tn I am 28 yrs old. I have IC. I have been having recent short term memory loss. I do not use drugs nor have I had any trauma. What might be the cause of this. I am not having any other symptoms of anything but not able to remember things of short term unless they are significant. I can't remember things that I even did yesterday. worst part is that I do not have insurance to get to a doctor to have tests ran to receive help that I might need to help find out what I have going on.
1763947 tn?1334055319 Hi, I was wondering if any one else has experienced problems with short term memory? Mine is getting worse by the day and I am really worried. My friend called me one night and the next day when we spoke, I didn't remember ever talking to her the night before. This type of thing is happening more and more. My move was delayed until the end of the month which means I am delayed in seeing my new LLMD. Would love to hear if this is something many people experience?
Avatar f tn Ambien absolutely can cause memory loss, more commonly short-term issues, but also some people have reported problems with their long term memory as well. The good news is...if other causes have been ruled out, and Ambien seems to be the culprit, the memory issues will resolve most times after the Ambien is safely tapered.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know the long term effects of abusing pain killers? I found out today that a friend of my husbands actually had seizures because of how long she was on vicodin. Just curious.
Avatar n tn i am a 28yr old female. I do have IC. I have been having short term memory loss. I do not use any drugs nor have i had an head trauma nor do I take any medications. What might be causing this memory problem? The memory issue is something new. I cant even remember things that happened yesterday or even last week. I can remember things that are of major importance but nothing minor. I also have been having migraines yet I have dealt with migraines now for about 9 yrs. What could this be?
Avatar f tn That's a big dose. I'm not sure of long term memory effects.
Avatar n tn A good neuro-psychological test can pinpoint areas of cognitive dysfunction and test short and long term memory issues. Your PCP or your neurologist can order one of these evaluations for you.
963268 tn?1312900315 I have a friend with MS I've known since I was a kid...too many years ago. She's been in a wheel chair for 15 years and has no cognitive problems...My memory is getting worse. I think I'd rather be in the wheel chair.
Avatar m tn could do crosswords... not so good now, been doing bookkeeping all my life.... not so good now, pretty darn good at computers... not so good now. I stand to do something, can't remember what I stood up to do. It takes hours, even days to remember long term memories that others mention to me. This is extremely disconcerting to me, I feel like I'm fading away, that at this rate, year after year it gets worse. Could I be experiencing early onset Alzheimer's or dementia.
Avatar m tn How long term? 6 months to a year is not that long to be on it, but if you are thinking like 5 to 10 years is more longer term. It is all definitely possible if it is needed, some times a drug will lose its ability to work after a while so has to be changed with another but I think if it works now then that's great and don't worry about the future to much, what will happen will happen. Sorry don't know about the memory and side effects long term.
Avatar n tn I believe it is a setteled issue regarding long term memory loss due to a by-pass. There has been a study and over the next four years, there were no significant differences in memory or other mental functions between the heart patients who had bypass, those who took medications, and those who had off-pump surgery. At four years, however, all three groups of heart patients scored significantly worse on tests of memory, decision-making, and visuospatial relations than the heart-healthy people.
Avatar m tn Hi, Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine you, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern. You need a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment.
