Why am i so forgetful lately!

You would be amazed at how much unremitting pain monopolises working memory.

I apply the kiss approach to life.

Keep it simple stupid.

It saves energy I find.

Hello inpain 31, pain that is ongoing can cause memory lapses, so can many other things including some of the pain relief tablets we take. I would suggest speaking to the practice nurse if possible to review any causes it might be in your personal health issues or just see your GP if you are concerned.

There can be all sorts of reasons. Called Senior citizen moments for those of us older than 50 call them. Add in pain problems and they are a bit more common.

So have to record events in diary and hope that stress overload doesn't cause me to forget activity I am supposed to be engaging in.

if you are older than 40 discuss issue with your peer group. You will find you are not alone with the problem.

Hope I have been helpful.

Its really pathetic situation, I think you should consult with your physician as soon as possible.
