Question:
Is this problem with your memory a chronic problem, or a recent onset, or something you’ve had which has suddenly gotten much worse? If it’s something new or a sudden worsening of a previous problem, then it’s a good idea to let your doctor know. He may want to run a few tests and/or send you for a neurology consult to make sure there’s nothing major going on to cause it. If it’s a chronic problem you’ve had for awhile, maybe it’s "brain fog" so common with lupus. In that case, I’m sure there are a lot of people here who can sympathize. Sandra

Gee Elle I think you will find it a common problem with lupies. Like forgetting how to thread the sewing machine or not being able to put up the hummingbird feeder or putting the milk in the pantry in stead of the fridge. It comes and goes and doesn’t seem to last long. The other thing is all the memories of the dumb things that you do that are best forgotten and hope they never come back Cheers Ruth

Hi Elle, I know that is alarming for you. I will tell you that a lot of us have the same thing. When I am very ill, I can’t do simple tasks. My husband had to take me to every doctor appt because I could not explain myself or understand the doctors instructions. He had to keep track of my meds and help me with everything. I am sorry,but I don’t remember if you are on pred or not. That stuff can also mess up your mind big time. To be honest, there were times when I thought I was loosing my mind. It scarred the he** out of me because I had to go through a slow routine to remember how to dress myself. I think the fear causes even more confusion. I can only assure you that you are not alone. I am actually good now,but get that way when over tired. Regards, BJ "Elle" <el…@surferie.net> wrote in message
