Good morning g to you all hope your all ok . I'm off to my local GP today going to stand my ground this time and tell him as it is about my memory and speach problem this has become a real problem to me lately and noticeable to family members for a while now and is now affecting my work ability I've been concerned about this for a while now but recent months it's got worse so I feel nows the time to do somthing about it and get it sorted I know fibro affects memory and problems like this but I feel mine is a lot different to having fibro fog and general forgetfulness . This had been going on for a long time and I've just put it off because the dr told m3 last time it's my depression that's causing it I'm sick and tired of bing told depression the cause of things I'm sorry but I won't be palmed of with just it's this and that I know there's more to my memory problem . Sorry for the rant but as you all know here's the only place you can rant without people questioning why your like it . Hope you all have a great day x

    Hi tiggers

    Well done to you! I hope it all goes well for you. I know what you mean about everything being put down to depression as I have it with my fibro too. Thing is you know in yourself when it's more than just the depression. I keep going into town and for a few seconds finding myself lost. This is not like me at all, especially in a place I know rolleyes

    Anyway, let us know how things go, and well done for having a rant 😊

    Hugs

      Hi kaz my GP was asking me about my depression but I soon gave him his answer to as he was about to accuse my depression of being part of my memory problem but I told him in the years that I've had depression and when had a break down at the age of 19 and tried to commit suicide I've never suffer with memory problems this is a recent thing and is getting worse day by day after me mentioning this to him he total agreed with me and said that He does feel it is somthing else but it could be somthing simple that can be treated . I'm totally fed up with them saying 3 very things down to out state of mind when I know I've been reasonable ok considering all my medical conditions. So I won't have him palm me of with more medication this is starting to affect my daily life and how I think so I feel somthing more needs to sorted for this as I can't carry on this way . Sending warm hugs to you x

      Hi Tiggers1 I feel the same as you, my memory is getting worse by the day. 2 weeks ago I went to get dressed put my knickers on, started to walk down stairs thought I feel cold Id got no other clothing on other than my knickers.? so had to go back upstairs finish getting dressed. The same day I went to feed my dog, instead of putting his food in his bowl I put it in the bin. Ive pured milk in the washing machine thinking it was softlan and put the softlan in the fridge?. I went to a memeory clinic last year she put it down to depression causing it. Im not sure about that neither was my gp. Im like you just cant carry on like. take care warm hugs to you x
