My memory keeps getting worse. At first it was all short term stuff. Did I eat a short time ago and stuff like that. EMS had to come yesterday and of course they ask a 1,000 times "When is your birthday?" I've noticed at other times and it was the same. I couldn't remember but I knew where to find it. "Look on my drivers license". Kind of like if I want to remember the name of someone I will know where they worked or where I can look them up to find it but will have no idea of the name.

But I can remember odd things like my 9th grade school locker combination. Also can remember the job number and the weight, size, and sheet numbers the plates were on for a bridge I drew in 1992. My girlfriend thought I was crazy. I could remember her home address I mailed a few letters to her after we first met in about 1985. She knew I was right because it was her parents address. I never forget a phone number. If I have called someone more than 2-3 times I know their number. Lot of it was before smart phones but I normally just remember a number and don't put it down as a contact. That seems to be working okay still. Just for the hell of it I called some numbers from 35-40 years ago and about 1/4 had someone still living there that knew the person or was the same business. Almost half were not in service at all anymore.

I'm probably nowhere near your age. But even I've noticed lapses in my memory that just dont seem to recall what stuff is called. Like Im thinking of this process that I used to deal with daily in my old career. But I cant for the life of me remember what its called. How can I forget a word that I used.. daily.. for years?..

I feel like I used to be a lot more clear headed in the past. I was talking to my cousin this morning via voice messages. She's all into the gym thing and she knows Ive been doing it for a while now. She's struggling with pull ups and was really embarrassed that she could barely do them. Not only did I completely blank on what a pull up was at first, (Yes, its obvious now that I know what its in reference to.) But when Im explaining the different muscle groups, I mixed up Bicep Curl and Pull Up's in a sentence. I didnt mentally mix the two up, but I mixed them up in speech. This happens more than I want to admit, and probably more than I realize. When I catch it, I feel like a moron.. because I must confuse the shit out of people at times.

I just dont remember having issues like this, ever. Im the healthiest Ive been in years, physically and in diet. So Im a bit worried its something deeper?...

Might be a long shot,.but methylene blue has show some promise, and seem to be really safe to take (except green pee, I guess).

Neurometabolic mechanisms for memory enhancement and neuroprotection of methylene blue - PMC

This paper provides the first review of the memory-enhancing and neuroprotective metabolic mechanisms of action of methylene blue in vivo. These mechanisms have important implications as a new neurobiological approach to improve normal memory and to ...
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

It has shown to improve memory and even stop AD progression in rat I believe.

If you look it up there are a bunch of smal’ scale studies showing promises and results, but since you can’t make money out of MB there aren’t large scale trials...

Not sure where else to post this so it goes here I guess. Night before last , body pain / neuropathy kept me up all night. I got perhaps 4 hours total all night/day in 30 min increments before something woke me up. I had ice packs all over my joints, as soon as they numbed out I passed out until the ice wore out and/or I moved to aggravate the nerves.
So last night I remembered I had some sleeping tablets. Trazadone 100mg they are called, I have them under the sink as they really didn't work and when I took them before it just made me 'hung over' all day.
Well last night I took one and 10:45PM and told my wife if it didn't do any good I'd take a melatonin at midnight. I sit, think 'I'll read my Malazan book of the fallen until I get drowsy' , My body said ' FUCK you that why' and I immediately passed out until 2PM today.

Now I'm my back is a pretzel from being in one position that long. Cannot win for losing.

At least you know it works. Maybe take 50mg?

yeah that's exactly what I told my wife. When they were initially prescribed it was for 50mg but it did nothing. Pain mgmt doc upped them to 100 but like I said they didn't 'work' when I need to sleep , they would sort of kick in in the middle of the night then make my ass drag the rest of the day. Ideally I don't take them at all but I was pretty desperate yesterday. I was so bad night before last the wife thought I was going to kill myself (I was not). I'm moving from heavy narcotic meds to neuropathy meds but they have to work up to the correct dosages.

I took a cogitive test numerous times. Of course one question is draw a watch or clock at a certain time. I wonder how long till they have to change that question because nobody does analog anymore.


I did the clock just fine, the nurse didn't laugh when I told her I have a clock in my office that is labeled backwards and runs backwards, which I do. Did not do stellar on the memory part but not terrible apparently.

From bad to worse. Going into the ER or hospital first thing. Total lack of strength. Like putting one hand on the desk to type is a major understakingl. Luckilyl my chair is right at the end of my bed to the left and to the right the door to the back of my bathroom. Total lack of strength, like ALS lack. Never had spacticity and still don't, or however you spell it. All my blood work as of late has come back normal, all minerals, vitamens, sed rate to check inflamation, the ANA to test for lupus and such all negative. Like my arms weigh 10,000 pounds.

You should try lion diet or carnivore see if things improve, seems to have good effect for things no one is able to find a cause for. Or even an extended fast. If things improve its probably toxins/allergys to something in food/environment. just a thought, seen youve had issues for a long time in your posts that no one is able to figure out the cause of.

It's a long shot but there are indeed lots of people that report having fixed their life-long issues with a carnivore diet.

Prolonged fasting for type 1 is reported to be safe, but that's probably a case in which you'd want a specialized clinic to oversee it. They do have documented miracles, but probably more cases of it not working.
