Avatar f tn What are some serious short term and long term effects from smoking weed while pregnant? I'm barely 3 months, and I still smoke pot but not most of the day everyday like I did before.
Avatar m tn Hi , I really don't know since I'm getting ready to file myself. My primary care Dr. told me that she would handle it, to just give them her name . She didn't see a problem. My job has short term (3 months) and long term after that. Once you go to long term they want you to file for ssdi even if you don't qualify they want you to file. My long term is indefinite, but pays a lesser amount once you get ssdi.
Avatar m tn 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???
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar f tn You are doing the right thing long term which is important and you are simply suffering the short term effects. You have probably smoked for many years and so it will take a bit of time for your body to adjust.
Avatar n tn Smoke weed or other drugs? Possibly. Forgetting can be due to lack of concentration and not taking things in. There are heaps of reasons why people forget things (stress, preoccupation, etc). I would lay off the smoking and see if you notice an improvement. Smoking kills too!
Avatar f tn Smoking can have long and short term effects on an unborn child through adulthood. The sooner you quit the less likely it will have harmful effects. Just do your best to stay off. For your unborn baby when you do smoke it's heart rate increases and has a difficult time breathing. It's like breathing through a small straw for hours. That feeling of can't breathe and not getting enough air. So its really important you do not give into temptation and your baby will be fine.
967680 tn?1255040743 I have been taking peg + rib for about 8 weeks. My side effects have been brutal. Going to work each day hag gotten more and more difficult. The vomiting and fatigue has taken its toll. 2 weeks ago my MD told me I was severly anemic, he cut back on the rib. That didn't work as planned. Now i'm on the perscription Procrit. This helped but I was still am so fatigued I couldn't make it through the day without napping at my desk. I ended up leaving my job.
Avatar m tn This may be due to the past weed smoking, but he is leaning toward smoking weed again. Aside from the loss of short term memory, is the risk of seizures very high? He's very healthy and has never had any brain related problems in the past. Any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1339419 tn?1275966042 Is this a direct side effect of high blood pressure, others with hypertension having suggested it effects their short term memory, or is it confined only to myself because of my memory problems?

Avatar f tn I just wanted to say that ive been chewing nicotine gum 2mg, for 10 years now, and I am up to 24 pieces daily! (ridiculous right) I am so dependent on this and I don't really want to stop even for years people warned me you better quit, that it will harm you! I've researched long term effects of the gum but didn't come up with very much, so I just make this a part of my behavior !
926553 tn?1244047438 m 46 had 3 strokes in early april, very blessed I was left with Horners syndrome and short term memory loss. After 2 1/2 months my memory loss is getting worst instead of better. I also have Diabetes-controlled, had a gastric bypass and lost 80 lbs my weight is ideal now. Still smoking a few cigarettes a day. I don't understand why I am have more memory loss now?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn My mom smoked with me and I was low birth weight and I have asthma and also have short term member lost it can also mess up the brain
Avatar n tn If you read the literature that comes with the medications, it lists so many possible side effects, some short term some longterm. I agree with desrt, some people will blame the treatment on ills that might have been caused by other factors. I was on tx for 13 weeks, and I stopped. I think I am back to baseline. The longer a person is on this stuff, the harder it is on the body. Hopefully the new meds coming out next year will have a shorter tx duration.
