Does anyone else have trouble following new movies or new shows that you don't know the story line for. I always lose interest very quickly, fall asleep or drift off somewhere and it has gotten to be that the only thing I will watch is a movie I have already seen before or something that really, really draws my interest.
I have noticed in recent months that I don't watch any regular TV shows like I use to. I think this started in November. I am always flipping around the movie channels looking for familiar movies.
Not sure if this is lyme related but thought I would ask. You never notice things like this until you slow down and take a look at your life and how it has changed.

It's just that TV isn't as interesting as it used to be. I cannot stand reality tv in any form. I have enough drama.
I like USA network...Law and Order, Monk, etc.
When my daughter is around all I get to watch is Sponge Bob. Patrick isn't very bright but, um, did you ever see the one where he trades in his Lyme brain for Brain coral??

Yes, I have noticed this. It's almost like I have ADD (attention deficit disorder). I also have trouble paying attention when people talk to much or the story they are telling is real long. The lyme brain is the most bothersome symptom for me.

I have the same problem. I'm constantly zoning out with conversations or Tv programs as soon as it seems to get the least bit complicated.
Then I'm asking my poor husband, "What did he/she say?" And he has to explain it to me, but the short ADD version for me!
