i can't believe it did this. i went grocery shopping on monday for a new year's eve party we're having.
i bought 2 gallon zip lock bags and oven bags.
i looked all over the kitchen today for those bags.
guess where they were? i threw them in the trash!!!
mike was going "what are you thinking?"
seems my memory is getting really bad.
anything to help this? i'm having to write everything down....

I also have this problem-enough where my fiance says he is going to put me in with his mom.
She is in an alzheimer's place!

i can't multi-task anymore so if i'm doing something, i tell hubby or whoever i can't listen or talk until i get my project done.
yes, i write myself lots of notes! Posted by Geneal (Member # 10375) on :
While I still have occasional issues with memory,
I am now able to multi-task again.
Pick up more than one item and safely deliver it to it's destination.
Go to the pantry and get everything out I need at one time.
This sure beats several trips I've made in the past.
I think diflucan therapy has helped me turn this corner.
Hang in there.
I've often though I had lost my mind.
Only to not remember where exactly I left it.
Hugs,
Geneal

I may have you beat - only when I was writing out a check for January's rent, did I realize I'd forgotten to pay December's - a $40 mistake and not sure if even that will help me remember.
Also, got summoned for jury duty - hope I get out of it.
Definitely not a good week...
I should have figured something was wrong when I started having to use a 7-day pill reminder container because I could never remember if I'd taken my pills or not and kept having to count what was left to determine if I had.

My brain feels like I have ADD. I can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time. I get very distracted by noise or people talking to me when I am trying to do something else.

My mind's turned to crap since I got sick.

Plus I think that sickness in general is a distraction. It's definitely hard to focus on peripheral matters when you're imprisoned by health issues.

My memory is not so good.
I can forget something in the time it takes me to go into the next room to get it.
My work is impacted. I forget conversations I previously had. I have notes but I don't always have them handy.
I forget the names of people I work with on a daily basis.
It's funny, it seems like my internal file system is messed up. I can remember everything about the person except their name.
The name will come to me the next day when I stumble across it in my mind.
I have many other nerve and brane symptoms. I feel like I am getting parkenson's disease with the way my muscles are twitching.
I just got back from a 600 mile drive to my LLMD. He is putting me on bicillin shots to see if it helps with my mental & nerve issues.
I hope it does.

Yeah, the memory stuff is a real complaint of mine.
Most other symptoms have gotten much better, the aches, pains, stomach issues, all better.
Not the memory. I was diagnosed with ADD a few years ago while in vet school.
Funny because I never had as many memory/concentration problems before as I did then.
Not until I finally was diagnosed last year did anyone say, "this could all be from Lyme you know"
My LLMD thought my history of not having been diagnosed with ADD until I was 24 was odd.
He said, "You probably have had Lyme all these years you know not ADD"
It gets better depending which meds I am on.
Right now though I am 3 weeks into Mepron and Zithromax and I think I am herxing a little which is making memory worse.
That and mood swings.
Make sure you tell your LLMD that is one of your symptoms too next time you see them.

Oh and I can relate with throwing out the bags.
How many of us have ever found foods that should have been refrigerated in our pantry instead?
