I have a severe difficulty staying focused. To the point where I can be having a conversation with somebody and the minute they turn around, I forget everything. I am afraid it is affecting my schooling as well. I can't remember much. Its like I have no short-term memory. what would you suggest I do? What type of medication can help me stay alert?
He has really bad short term memory. I mean he could of just stopped something and forget he did it 30 seconds later.
Another thing is ill ask him take the trash bag out the can, empty the small can into the bag you took out the big can so your dad can take it outside because you cant take it outside by yourself. "Ok mom" but instead he just took the big trash outside by himself and does nothing with the little trash.
He is in regular classes and still gets honor roll.
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?
I have short term memory and have had it most of my life, I cant work and i feel very ashamed because i cant remember directions or a number ive been told just after ive been told them. I was abused as a child, sexually, mentally and physically as a child. I have depression and have panic disorder. Would that have somthing to do with my memory beeing so bad?
hey guys, I was diagnosed with short term memory back in high school...teachers were made aware of this issue & I was given extra time to take tests/study. A few years have passed since then, but I find that I seem to be forgetting things quicker than I used to. For instance, I couldnt even remember the name of a movie I saw with my friend two days ago or our conversation....sometimes conversations hours after they have occurred. is there anythinng I can do to help improve my memory???

He has been experiencing short-term memory loss for the past 3 years. This spring, my mom took him to the doctor for a series of tests. They conducted an MRI to check for tumors or a possible stroke. They also conducted an initial screening for Alzheimers and dementia. Everything came back clear. The doctors agreed that there is some short-term memory loss but not enough to warrant medication.
I am a 33 year old mother of three and my memory is getting worse. I used to attribute it to being so busy but it's become more short term as I get older. I'm forgetting words when I have conversations with people, names of streets that I've always known before. I'll walk in a room specifically for an item and once in the room, I forget why I was there.
but i always attributed it to being on a benzo for so long....i know that benzos (ativan, valium, xanax, etc.) definitely mess with your short-term memory.....i didn't realize that opiates could.....hmmmmmm....now i wonder....yes, another excellent reason to get off everything! i'm trying, but it is da**mned hard! only on day 4 here.....feel like i'm fighting a war every single minute of the day and night....
My short term memory has gotten really bad. I even notice my coworker and friends and family have notice.If I don't write down a pass word I will forget . I will forget what people have told me. It's gotten pretty bad. I'm 54 and I'm not a smoker . I don't drink ,not over weight. Is there anything I can do?
My husband had a very large Pineal Meningioma Tumor removed 1-7-11. He has no short term memory. I believe in miracles but medically I feel/know his memory won't every come back. This is a rare situation as Pineal Meningioma Tumors are rare. The tumor was right in the middle of his head above the brain stem. He also had to have a VP shunt. His quality of life is so sad because he doesn't make new memories and has lost so much memory that he once had.
I've been experiencing some really irritating short-term memory loss problems (for myself as well as other people). I am 35, female and trying to figure out why and how I can improve this. Ther are a few things I have considered...I was in an auto accident last year. I was t-boned and the driver side airbag went off and pretty much saved my life.
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.
