Memory problems

[Littlecook]

Hi all does anyone suffer with memory lose my wife will ask me something and I can't remember even if it was yesterday never mind last year , it seems to get worse by the day do I need help?

I find writing things down helps, all appointments put in my phone calendar, so it alerts me if I forget. Even a note book easy accessible helps. I always thought, in a couple, that one would have the memory, but my husband is worse than me and gets cranky, so writing it down helps him too. It shows we did discuss it. Every morning we tell each other what day it is and what appointments we have. I think the more you stress about it the worse it gets, so we use humour to counteract it. Hope you find some way to help. Take care. Moni

Hi Littlecook,

Cognitive vestibular interactions are well recognised in some clinics. When we're off balance our systems are working so hard to stay upright that we don't have much energy for other stuff so our memories can be affected. I found it helpful to understand why this happens and it might help your wife to understand too. There's good info on VeDA's site about this
