Memory loss

Wossi · 21-09-2007, 10:47

I'm not talking total memory loss, rather there's always a few things you forget. Does anyone else suffer from this? It seems to happen to me on a regular basis, for example, I was talking to my dad last night before I left work and mentioned that we need some rubber gloves from the lab to take home for the weekend. Now, we have the gloves but for the life of us we can't remember why we need them?

Is my slight memory issues a product of my frequent youthful dabbling in illegal substances or is it normal for people to forget things a lot?

it's normal to forget some stuff, I forget stuff all the time. I'd be more worried about losing large chunks of memory.

I remember stuff now by writing lists

write lots then you'll always be able to find at least one

Yes, without my reminder list and calendar I am positive I'd end up being found confused and dazed, naked on a Japanese fishing boat with a tattoo on my left arse cheek detailing a price for me in yen.

All the time, I just have too much on sometimes and my brain is like Homer Simpson's. If you try and put too much in it bumps something else out and I forget it

Im terrible with my memory. If I ever goto the supermarket I always forget half the stuff Mrs L asks me to get. So lists and calenders are the future for me

The daft thing is, I always forget to write a list out

I think my memory is steadily getting worse and I'm only 26. I really need something to help me remember things and the first person to suggest Dr Kawashima gets slapped with a fish

I have a problem with my short term memory.. introduce me to a group of people and I will forget every name instantly.

Something I am told 10mins ago I won't remember.

I write lists too - lots of them... lists in lists too...

Meh!

Caffeine is meant to improve your short-term memory.

However, it does decrease long-term bladder holding capabilities.
