Thank you for your comments, now I feel a little better about things, although I couldn't remember what I wrote haha! I have to concentrate on the very important things and that's my kids. I cannot forget when to pick them up or I'll be seriously worried. It is almost like I hear and know what the person is saying and then it leaves my short term memory in the snap of a finger. It is also important stuff, but then when I'm reminded of it then I remember. I do agree though it does make me more sensitive to those with memory loss.
Thanks so much
the forgetfullness is a really big problem. Compound that with severe insomnia and I almost have to ask my family where my bedroom is.
I don't know what to do for it either. That is the sad part. I just want to use it for good though. Maybe to help me be more sensitive to those with Dementia or alzheimers. Although I might forget their name....ha ha ha.
You gotta laugh. Its either laugh or cry. I've already cried, so now I am trying laughter.
don't know if you mind, but how old are you? it may be age. I am 40 in 2 months and have been forgetful about things for maybe the past 2 yrs. Maybe we just have too much on our plate. When my hubby and I went to my Endo for my 1st visit after my PT, he gave me a script for synthroid, then he went on to talk about the dosage amount, and if I should become pregnant, and about coming back to see him and about doing blood test again and on and on. When we left his office, we were standing in front of the elevator and starting asking each other questions about what the doc said. I just have to laugh about it. I told my hubby I am going to carry around a tape recorder. In all seriousness though, I am new to the thyroid problems, so I am not 100% sure. I guess this was just a little comic relief. Hope I wasn't too insensitive.
i have the opposite...hyperthyroidism and have the same symptoms as you. Some one could be asking me to do something at work... less than a minute later ill need to ask again what they said.
