memory loss an eyesight

[jacs17]

you know when you have short term,memory loss like someone said something before yet you already forget is it connected to eyes becoming sore,stinging,vision,light tends to hurt your eyes ,as all one side of my body is wrecked but its these issues causing me most confusion,living alone kind of feel like dozy out the 7 dwarfs,lol any one know what this can be ?

Short term memory loss is the worst! I used to forget everything I did the minute after I did it! I didn't understand what people were saying and I recognised people but didn't know who there were- bloody nightmare! Brain heals slowly but you will improve! Over-stimulation is horrible, sit in the quiet- I have to sit in a dark quiet room sometimes just to be able to function on the outside

If it doesn't get better soon, you should get professional help- go A&E at the hospital for an assessment.

Get an ambulance if you're stuck. I just read your page. Hope you get better.

I have short term memory problems and have a little book where i write down important things... if i remember lol

I get vision problems too its a form of migraine for me. ( Ocular migraine)

But have a look at the little leaflet if you are on any medication as sometimes this can be a side effect of meds too.

I'm really sorry you've had this, i agree with aqua, go to A and e if its really bothering you or a walk in centre.

Take it easy and slow. you have been through such a lot and stress does funny things too. Listening here though so dont feel you are on your own .

Love

Maybe you need to see your GP about your eyes and the short term memory loss. You might also need to see the optician about getting some tinted glasses to help with the light hurting your eyes.

I put post its on my mum's cupboards and the fridge with important info. I got her a calendar with 5 columns which is like a family organizer and we write important things there too, like when the bins go out, appointments. If there is something special she needs to learn, I write that down on a sheet of paper and put it near where she likes to sit so she can read it a lot. This helps her a bit. It takes her longer to learn anything than before her accident and sometimes she remembers bits but not others. Pictures can help too.

Maybe headway can put you in touch with a group near where you live and you could join that for some support?
