do you have an idea about my problem?
or should i describe that as a problem?

A: Forgetfulness! I can relate to your problem. You didn’t mention your age; however I may say this. I was on so many anti-depressants, plus Xanax (6 yrs,) that i cannot remember the years 2001-2004. This at one time was what this Dr. had me own. Abilfy-Seroquel-Lexapro-Atenolol-Gabitril-Seroquel-Ambien-
Zyprexia (contracted dietbetics 2 from that one) Plus had me on Xanax, “Take as needed”. I was already taking about 6mg’s per day. I do not remember quitting my job, or getting a 30 day leave of absence. My daughter told me later that she carried me to the Dr. to get the paper work for the 30 days off. I do not remember sending it in. She told me months later that she did. But after the thirty days were up, I have no recollection. i was near dealth and had no idea. My family went to Calif. I have no idea what I did for those seven days.

Q: Forgetfulness?
Please let me know if anyone suffers from forgetfulness and if there is anyway to solve this thing.
Thanks

A: Hi HawkEye. You are not alone. I am also very forgetful and have tried the following techniques to help me remember. I would like to share with you these techniques as i have experienced positive results using them. Firstly, as soön as you are required to do something or remember something, write it down on a piece of paper. Keep the piece of paper in your pocket where it is easily retrievable. So, instead of bothering yourself trying to remember things you have to do , you can just refer to your piece of paper. The way to success in this technique is to refer to the piece of paper every now and then during the day. As your day goes by, keep on adding to your list of things to remember if need be. The second technique is the use of Post – It. There is a stationery item called Post – It. It’s a small piece of paper that’s sticky on one side only. I’ve found using Post – It to be very useful as i can write down important things to remember and stick it on the side of my computer screen or on my wall. You should do the same, especially if you use your computer often. That way you can see at a glance the important things to remember. The third technique to help you remember is the use of calenders. Many calenders are available with writing spaces for each day. You could get a calender and write in each space important things to remember. This is particularly useful when you need to remember important dates such as someone’s birthday, a doctor’s appointment and so on. Display your calender on your room wall so you can see important things or dates to remember. A desk calender with writing spaces are also available. The third technique is the use of your mobile phone. Some phönes have an organiser as one of their characteristics. My phone, which is a Nokia 6230, has this feature. If you don’t have a phone with this feature you should consider buying one. I bought my phone quite some time ago. So, i don’t think it would be very expensive if you purchase one like mine if you are considering buying a mobile phone with this characteristic. Anyway, with the organiser built into the phone, a ‘ to do list ‘ is also available. You can add to your list of ‘things to do’ to your phone and delete it when you have completed your tasks. You must type in what you have to remember as soon as possible. Another useful feature in this phone is that it has a calender as well. You choose a date and make a note on that date if there is anything important to remember. What’s particularly useful is the alarm option which is available if you would like to be reminded of what you had noted to do on that day. Lastly, instead of using a piece of paper to jot down things you have to remember, you could buy a pocket diary. When your day begins, write down the important things to remember. Or as soon as you have to remember something important, write it down immediately. Carry your diary with you all time and refer to your diary regularly to re – inforce in your mind what needs to remembered. I have tried the techniques with a great degree of success. I hope that you experience the same success as well. ~¤~ Wíshiñg ~¤~ Ýöu ~¤~ Äll ~¤~ Thè ~¤~ Bèst ~¤~ Ghøst

Q: Is it hard to get on disability if you have migraines and forgetfulness after a stroke?
The stroke occured in September of “07″ and both the migraines and forgetfulness isn’t getting any better…

A: Yes it is.

Applying for disability benefits is a long, drawn out process that takes months, sometimes years, to receive. You can call them to start the application process by phone at 1-800-772-1213. Part of the application can be done online BUT you need to call them first to get started.

Make sure you have ALL your doctor, hospital, clinic & medication information. If you’re not sure of the doctor, hospital or clinic address or full name, look the information up online through your insurance company or do a quick search to locate the information.

You WILL be denied with your first application. I don’t know anyone who’s gotten it with their first application. Once you get denied, sit down with the phone book & start calling SSI attorneys. You’ll need one to help you file the appeal to get your SSI benefits. A decent attorney’s office will NOT offer to call you back. They’ll make you an appointment to come into their office to fill out the appeal paperwork. I learned this the hard way with 3 other SSI attorneys, 2 of which had ME call SSI to obtain the appeal paperwork that THEY should have provided me. My case has taken a lot longer this way but now that I have a decent attorney, I’ll be getting my SSI with in about 17 months or less, depending on the appeal process.

Stick with the process. As I stated above, it’s a long process to get your benefits. It could take anywhere from 6-18 months to get the benefits.

Make sure your medical records state you’re unable to work due to the stroke, migraines & memory loss. Otherwise, SSI will look at that & determine you’re able to return to work.

SSI will also ask you to see a doctor in your area at THEIR cost to help determine your case. You’ll receive the appointment letter in the mail & please keep this appointment. It’s crucial to your case. Be prepared to provide the same information over & over again. Have someone help you fill out the forms if possible.

Q: Why do we want to drug ourselves into forgetfulness with sex, drugs, etc?
Why do we want to drug ourselves into forgetfulness with sex, drugs, food, work? Why???
Whats your respones to this?
Can you give me the link to the article?

A: At our core, we are still animals. We seek pleasure, and sometimes, we don’t know when to stop. Drugs have been a part of every society. They also appear in nature, often.

A single example would be the red berries that birds eat (might only grow here in California), and it makes them drunk, and sometimes they crash into objects, etc.

So, like anything else, it’s poor impulse control. It’s taking fun too far, and once you are in an altered (disabled?) mental state, it’s just your brain seeking more of what you have given it. What’s missing is the logic to say “I won’t feel better with more”.

Q: How can you tell the difference between normal forgetfulness and a medical problem?
I wonder about my mom sometimes. She’s pretty forgetful. She is 58 and takes antidepressants.

A: Some degree of forgetfulness is normal with aging…the most common cause of memory loss is stress and anxiety. The second most common cause is depression. The third most common cause is medical issues. Ninety percent of older adults who complain about memory loss “do not have Alzheimer’s disease”. …Most of them have depression, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and lack of sufficient amount of sleep or medical issues.
The kind of memory loss that would be concerning would be the type that the person would completely forget all the information…. Taking antidepressants may contribute to her memory loss!, since they are known to cause disorientation, fatigue,e tc.

If you are concerned go with her to her doctor!

Good luck:-)

Q: can i owe my forgetfulness to the Cesarean operations that i have undergone?
i am 27 years old and has already undergone two Ceasarian Operations. i just had this observation that after giving birth the first time i became too forgetful and after undergoing the operation for the 2nd time the situation seemed to worsen. people would always tell me that the operations that i have undergone could have caused me to be too forgetful. could this be true?

A: Yes, the anesthesia injected to you kills lot of brain cells. That is why you are forgetful.

Q: How should i deal with forgetfulness ?
I’m working as a waiter and i keen on forgetting stuffs like customer orders, etc and I have problem remembering table numbers.

A: get a notebook to write stuff down

Q: How can one tell the difference between the early stages of Alzheimer’s and simple forgetfulness?
My mother is almost 50 years old, and it seems like she’s been forgetting things a lot lately. Every now and then she’ll forget someones name, or won’t remember where she put something, or ask me the same question more than once.

I understand that no one is perfect and that anyone could forget things as simple as what I mentioned above. But where does the line between the possibility of her having Alzheimer’s or simply becoming more forgetful due to age cross? Should I be concerned?

A: Anyone can forget things but its different because Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. has she seen the doctor? this can be serious because when my grandma didn’t go to the doctor and forgetting every ones names she had brain cancer. so i recommend for her to see the doctor

Q: Should I be worried about increasingly worse forgetfulness?
I am 24. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years ago, and have been on meds since then.

Lately (last couple months or so), I keep forgetting things and misplacing things. Like, important things – my purse, my wallet, cash, my car keys … I have lost all of these items, multiple times. Plus, I have forgotten important appointments, even though I have them written down. I have always been forgetful, but never nearly this bad.

Is this normal, or should I get it checked out? Also, could this be some form of psychosis, or the beginnings of psychosis?

A: Most anti-seizure medications (e.g., Lamictal) also carry the very common potential side effect of confusion/forgetfulness/”brain fog”. Changing medications *may* help. Many of today’s “mood stabilizers”, however, are actually re-purposed anti-seizure meds.

Hang in there,

Q: What do horrible headaches (Almost every single day) accompanied with forgetfulness indicate?
I’ve always suffered from migraines… however, i’d typically only get one once a month, if that. Over the past few months, they’ve been more and more frequent, and now im to the point where It’s almost every single day, and much different type of pain than a migraine. Nothing provides relief, and I’ve noticed that i have also become extremely forgetful, as well as really dizzy. .. any ideas?

A: dont mean 2 freak u out, but that could be a brain tumor, if its that bad ask ur doctor

Q: Does nicotine cause forgetfulness and lack of concentration?
I am smoking and I lately I always forget things especially those that have small details and I also find it hard to concentrate. Could it be because of nicotine or something else (Alzheimer’s, etc.). I’m 19 years old, smoking for almost 2 years.

A: It’s not the smoking, cigarettes will do alot of bad things to you, but not this. Studies have shown an increase in concentration and response times in people who have had some nicotine. Go and talk to your doctor about this, get a referral to a neurologist and find out what is causing it all. And quit the smokes, they aren’t good for anything. Best wishes.

Q: What do you know about “emotional forgetfulness”?
I read an article a while back about a pill that induces “emotional forgetfulness” mainly for people with PTSD — But as usual, most so-called “ethicists” want to put a damper on it.

Personally, I think that this would be a good thing, not only for those who suffer from PTSD, but also for those who are living the effects of childhood abuse, whether it is emotional, physical or sexual.

What is this pill, and how can it be obtained?

A: The drug is called Propranolol, and it is basically a Beta Blocker.

I’m not sure if that can be obtained without a prescription at this point.

Q: What are the boundaries of forgetfulness ?
I forget small things on a regular basis like simple items that I had to take with me etc. But I’ve also noticed recently when asked mid-week what I had done on the weekend, I simply could not remember what I had done. It took me several minutes of thinking before I realised what I had been doing, this has happened on several occasion’s. Is this common? I have always been a forgetful person.

A: memory is in large part, a habit. Lazy habits mean poor memory retention. If you don’t use a skill, you lose it. Suggest you work on improving your memory by making use of it, simple word games can help, and there are several websites where you can get good ideas on improving your memory in other ways.

Q: How to avoid nervousness and forgetfulness when speaking in front of a class?
I have a couple of classes where the teacher calls on random people to answer questions. I have higher grades then most people so I get caught up in thinking that everyone expects me to know the answers. When the teacher calls on me I usually get all red and embarassed and forget everything and can’t think straight so it makes it hard to answer aloud. I also have trouble speaking up or sharing my thoughts in class in front of everyone. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for me so I can open up a little more and be more relaxed in these situations?

A: I am a teacher. I do know how hard it can be for students to answer questions when put on the spot. Just know this: its ok not to know! If you find yourself caught off guard, simply state that your sorry, you dont know, and move past it. Even if you think you should know, dont dwell on it and feel uncomfortable. Trust me, I go through a hundred students a day who say they dont know. Dont be concerned with what your classmates think; chances are they dont know the answer either.

And always remember, its ok to take a few moments to collect your thoughts. Dont feel pressured to hurry and answer. A good teacher will give you time. I would rather a student take 30 seconds and be correct than to just say they dont know really quick without giving it adequate thought.

Good luck!

In my mom who is 41. Otherwise she seems to be her normal self. She became a vegetarian a couple of months ago but still eats fish. She’s been under a lot of stress.

A: Stress can cause all of these things. I would recommend a daily Vegan vitamin supplement.
