Not Alzheimer's, Maybe PTSD?

0 Replies

Hello!

I just found this place. I've been searching for 6 years to find a solution to my short-term memory problems. They started the day my 47yo husband died unexpectedly. It's just my short-term memory. Apparently, this isn't uncommon and sometimes called 'widow brain' or 'grief brain.'

I can remember my first day of kindergarten, but I can't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday. No MD, PhD, or Psychiatrist has had any answers for me. I had an MRI and EEG done that came back normal. I can't hold down a job because I forget everything and there are only so many notes that can be taken and referred to. I don't know where else to turn for help.
