i sufferr quite bad with short term memory now i have seen the doctor and he gave me a memory test and i now have to go into surgery tomorrow to have blood tests and go back to doctor next week and he may then refer me to hospital however there are so many things that can cause memory loss. Medication, Fibro, age and the list go,s on. I bet when you tell family or friends they have a little giggle however for you it will be annoying.

hope you get through it - post it notes as mentioned above do help and my diary is my memory.

My big book of lists is back by my side

My grandchildren were at my house on Saturday with their Mum. My daughter asked me to look after them the following day as she had to work and her husband was off somewhere.

I shouted to the kids in the other room "you had better be good tomorrow else you'll be sitting out side on the door step". Then as an afterthought I said "and you'll be very uncomfortable because I haven't got a door step". My daughter could not stop laughing at me and said at what point did I remember not having a door step.

Try B12 jabs from your doc, they really work to clear memory fog. I put reminder alarms on my phone, works for me xx

[Hidden in reply to Bongowench]

It might be a good idea to find out if you need B12 injections first... Also if you have to use reminder alarms .. Didnt the B 12 jabs work.?

Yours curiously

I rely on a REALLY BIG diary, which is difficult to lose. I write everything in it, and when I go out, I transfer to a smaller handbag diary anything I may need when I'm out. I write a note to myself every day NOT to forget to write in my handbag diary. Duh!

It's strange, because if I am concentrating on something important, my brain seems to fire on all four cylinders - it's the little everyday things that I can't remember, like my own phone number. Even my address blanks out at times, especially when I have hailed a taxi to take me home - er yes, where is my home? So embarrassing! Oh, and I often put my purse in the fridge - talk about frozen assets

Lol moffy ! I've started using a diary the mother in law gave me, working well for me.

The only thing my mother in law gives me is grief..... You are so lucky to get a diary

I so have a memory problem too.

Keep giving shops different names, like morrissons supermarket I keep calling it

Watsons. Just why I don't know!!

I had the same problem when I was going through the menopause. But once I had got to

The post menopause my memory came flooding back.

Hoping I'll get passed it now with fibro.

It's also kinda embarrassing when someone tells you something and seconds later, whoosh

It's gone.

There has got to be a way round this. Keep telling myself, right Bibi one thing at a time

And one thing only.

Working very hard on this one!!

My oh gets very annoyed when I tell him the same thing time after time, he has to take care of the bills and all my appointments, if I put reminders on my phone I still get it wrong, I've put in the wrong day, time and even year, how I managed that I still don't know , I can honestly say I would be totally lost without him, I'm managed to forget my address quite a number of times, my phone number to and my age, I keep forgetting my meds then I look at my pill holder and realise, good job I keep it close, I know that if he goes before me I know that's a very long time off but I will get put in a home for my own safety, ({}) Sithy

I've taken the wrong exit on roundabouts close to my house and got completely lost. I have to he so careful getting out of my car. I have set places to park otherwise I never find my car again. I phoned my husband to ask if he was playing practical jokes from my local supermarket. I honestly thought he'd moved it .... I've also sat in waiting for my grandson to wake up......when he was at home with his mum !
