Okay, I'm not sure what it is...hypothyroidism, brain tumor, being overweight, you name it I'd like to get it all checked out. My problem is being able to concentrate or focus. When asked a question that requires me to recall from short-term memory or long-term memory, I cannot remember, sometimes I just feel like I have a block. I know the situation or what was said sounds very familiar, but I cannot recall the details. This is really bothersome to me and I am wondering if I should be worried. My ex has told me that I always forget the important stuff and my now husband gets frustrated when he says " I told you this and that", and I don't remember. I used to think it was from being busy, under alot of stress, or from traumatic experiences as the reasons I just don't remember alot, but now life is pretty smooth and I'm still struggling with this. Day-to-day I function well, no other c/o other than the fuzzy mind and poor memory. While this is not a nursey-nurse question per say, the input on this website is so vast, I wanted to get some advice from anyone who had any.
That's cute, "Selective Alzheimers", never heard of that one before. What kind of sleeping/exercises are you doing with success? I just get so frustrated with myself, when it happens, I think I have anxiety too, even though I don't like to admit that. But I think I have alot of anxiety going on in my head, I think way too much!! I can't tell you the times I've heard people say that to me.
Thanks for the input,
Shhnack
I came up with Selective Alzheimers all on my own. I am most proud of it!
Talk with your doc first, he/she will tell you what is best for you. Mine was different because my stress gave me IBS. ew.
But it came down to 45 minutes 3 days a week. The other 4 days though I have to do 15 minutes. Nothing to hard, the 15 minutes just a lite walk, I used to play soccer in middle school so my 45 ones are playing soccer. It gives me more energy. I noticed that when I lack energy I just can't think straight or remember anything. Which is where the sleep comes in. I sleep when I can but I have to take naps. HAVE TO. He said one of the problems with some nurses is they talk out their stress/anxiety but what they don't realize is that its physical too, so "work-out" your problems. But that is what worked for me. Again talk with your doc before you do any of it, your situation might be different.
