Encephalitis Sept 2022. Hospital for four months and friends notified that I would not survive. Horrible details but fortunately I remember nothing. All has gone really well and I am now at the point of looking for work but still cannot remember names, place names, actors, countries, etc, without constant practice.

Thank you but I think it was a lot worse for my friends and the hospital staff. I didn't know where I was or who I was but kept getting outside for a walk about. They worried a lot but I love fresh air.

Hi Robbie . I’m glad it’s gone well for you . Memory is the problem we are all familiar with . I couldn’t survive without my phone ring reminders to me , or texting myself important names that I will need whenever I go somewhere .

I’d recommend taking Omega 3 supplement. It is not a miracle cure, but I think my memory has definitely improved since I started taking it . It’s worth googling it and giving it a try . 😊

That's a great idea. I will definitely give it a try. Many thanks.
