iam am always forgetting thing and doing stupid thing I don't realise iam doing. Like the other day I peeled onions for soup I put the onion in the bin and the peelings in the soup ? Iam talking to a friend and halfway in the conversation I forget what we are talking about. This is happening all the time daily.and when speaking I get all my words mixed up. What can be going on worried
if you have fibro or ME this is normal ..also if your of a certain age ,or you good be aneimac
if known of these apply get it checked out
Yes I'm like that sometimes forgot to put a tea bag into a cup can't remember what I've had for breakfast I can read a page then forget what it said put my glasses down then spend a few minutes trying to find them I thought it was the meds I'm taking amitriptyline plus tramadol But I don't know
ah i forget to put teabags in ,or put two in the same cup.
i forget words even thou i know them i have fibro so thats very common .
I don't have fibro I have chronic Lower back pain plus tingling and numbness in fingers,hands, feet,toes,
Sounds with the tingling like what I had along with brain drain . I have to have b12 injections every month. See the website of 'Dr Chandy' in Durham about b12 anaemia or what is known as Pernicious Aneamia. It can cause neurological damage which can be fixed with enough b12 over time. Good luck. Hope you find out what is the matter.
He got banned lol
Thank you for the info I will have a look at the site x
I forget also, went to see my sister who is dying and I said to her son keep smiling !
I meant it well but it was a silly thing to say that's me now days !!
Don't worry and sing as songs make you remember words !!

i was talking about trains and said railway cabbages instead of railway carriages.it was hysterical once the penny dropped what my son and husband was laughing at.

If I forget names I say "thingymebob said or whatshisname rang"
I get told "Who !!" I just say let me think.

i think its in most cases age related in such that we have so much on our minds ,as we get older that we just cant remember every little detail .
of course there are other reasons and we all worry about that but if you can remember who our queen is count back fro a hundred etc its not that . remember how we laugh at our grans when they got muddled . its just our turn now ,
iv just put everything in the crock pot and sat here thinking i cant there the lid poping up and down i hadnt switched it back on after empting it of water after heating up
so dinner is going to be late
, my classic is trying to cook dinner with the grill and not the oven
the times i put the grill on instead of the oven , you wouldnt believe.
You are showing the early signs of dementia, and possibly Alzheimer's. But DON'T PANIC. I would recommend that you start out taking two 500 mg capsules of Niacinamide (vitamin B-3) every day. Be sure to get the "-amide" form of this instead of ordinary niacin, which would probably cause to you flush red as a beet on occasion. I have been helped by this myself.
There are other treatments that are much more effective, but more complicated. Try this and see if it doesn't help first.
you shouldnt frighten people like this ,not every one who gets forgetful has dementia , early or other wise .
please be careful how you word things i know you didnt mean your reply to cause stress but to some people this could be very stressing
that reminds me stress is another reason that we forget things .
[you should have wordered your reply ,you could be showing signs of early dementia]
Yes your right it's not the thing to say on a forum its can cause panic and fear saying stupid things like that very dangerous
Frighten people? If I was a medical doctor, and knew that you as my patient had been diagnosed with cancer, would you prefer that I not tell you, so as not to "frighten" you?
The symptoms gilly2111 described are very definitely those of early onset dementia, if not Alzheimer's. I am not trying to frighten anyone, but rather trying to get people to understand that this COULD be a dangerous condition that requires attention. It is not a death sentence though, and there are in fact many very promising treatments that I have read about recently. But the worst thing anyone could do is nothing, which might in fact happen if I were to say "Don't worry be happy", or something to that effect.
I'm hypothyroid and my memory can be terrible some days always forgetting where my glasses are, drained ginger into the sink instead of the saucepan, brain fog they call it. No point worrying in my opinion, often because people are so busy too much on their minds.
Forgot to mention you could try some memory games online like lumosity or Brainmetrix.
yes i forgot thyroid can cause a problem with memory as well if not working properly. memory games are excellant and also opening up new brain path ways taking up something new like art or singing something differant can also help .stimulate the memory.its like everything eles dont use it loose it .
but hun its the way you put it , there are numerous conditions that makes you forgetful ,just being on a diet can affect your memory ,not getting the rigth nutrients can effect your memory ,serious heavy metal toxic metals can effect your memory , you cant say its early dementia with out testing someone and thats the doctors job ,
your right in what you say but like i said you should have worded differently ,[it could be early dementia ] not the way you put it ,your showing early signs of dementia ,
i have fibromyalgia and have had bouts of serious brain fog for over 10 yrs ,where i struggle for everyday words , forget what iv gone into a room for, for get mid sentence what i am saying ,but i most definatly dont have dementia . just becareful how you word it ,thats all .
