Memory

Does anyone find that they don't have a very good short term memory or is it just me

Mine is shocking! Probably due to lack of sleep.

Sleeping issues does affect the memory, it is well known and documented. And some times I feel that doctors take that more serious than the other rls-sympthoms.

I started to have a problem with short term memory. I was constantly saying I forgot to make the bed. (just an example). I am teaching myself the truth by changing what I say. I remembered that I will make the bed. I correct myself anytime I say forgot to remember. I am exercising my brain. It is working for me. After all I was remembering what I said that I forgot. That is like saying "I will find my keys in the last place I look). Dah! I am learning to have better talks with myself.

Lack of sleep that sounds about right. I was reading up on rls I've had it for years ans only just went to the docs, any how most of the info say to help with rls you should try to sleep more wtf thats what's we're tryingto do

Thank the lord ime not alone. After suffering a massive blow to the head 2 years ago, I always put it down to that. Maybe it isnt

Big time! Great long term memory, but short term is horrible.

Iv`e always had a problem with my short term memory, my mother was the same, so it could be genetic.

Have had a bad memory for years. Washing up liquid in the fridge. Looking for my glasses when they're already on my head. And my ex would take advantage of this by saying I either didn't tell him something when I actually had, and vice versa. My anxiety issues have stemmed from this I'm sure.

Pain killers and all the Parkinsons meds cause dullness of mind. I don't know if it is permenant or not, but I can't endure the Severe RLS without it so I am a little bit more dull of wit and cannot make speeches off the cuff any more. That's life with RLS.
