Sometimes when things are important. You may have to write yourself reminders or even store them on the calendar or send yours a message in your phone. Whatever works best. These are the strategies I use to help me keep up with things. We have no control of the medication side effects.

Hey there Phillywoman!

What is the name of the memory supplement that you're on?

One of my biggest frustrations is the memories I've been lost and not feeling as sharp in general. I can get pretty sad about losing some of myself within those experiences that are gone.
My losses seem to be "scattered". The distant past is intact more than memories from more recent years.
When it's just my husband and I it's not as noticeable to me. When I'm with others it's palpable. I hate it.

My son definitely does. He has great long term from when he was a child but you have to discuss things with him one at a time.
