I thought i would bring this subject up, as i know there are a few of us here who suffer with memory loss. And is it just those who have the Antiphospholipid Syndrome, or anyone who has Lupus who suffers with memory loss i was wondering? Sorry for any mis-spellings. I have terrible memory loss. I get so tired sometimes, that when someone tells me something, i think i have taken it in, but i realise later on i haven't, a bit like this evening. Dave went out this evening, saying he had to leave at 6.30pm, telling me when he would be home. I think he said 10.30pm, but i couldn't be certain. He has gone out before and told me exactly where he is going, only for me to have to ring him and ask him where he is. Its not just that, that gives me problems though. I forget the words i need to use in a sentence. I forget the names of people i see on a regular basis. Its embarrassing. Unless there is someone in a group conversation who may drop the persons name into the conversation and then i am able to hear it and pick it up, I have taken to calling everyone darling or dear when out and about, as it makes my life easier. I do have some days where i do remember really long words, and i joke i am on form today, or doing well today, as i am not always good with remembering every word i want to use. Although i do know they are in my brain still somewhere, hidden away until my brain decides i am okay, and can use them again. I have found writing things done does help. It is strange to have such a poor memory after years of remembering everything i need to quite well. I know others here have the same problem, if you would like to say what are your main issues with memory, and if its worse during a flare? Or is your memory bad all the time? Have you associated it being worse with Lupus, or just about the same. And is there anything you find helps, which might benefit me, and others here. I know it drives me mad at times not being able to remember simple things, thank you for taking the time to listening to me have a vent about it, love and hugsxoxoxo
