MEMORY

I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE, IT IS SO SCARY, I WILL BE 49 IN FEB. 2012 AND I AM LOOSING IT. AT TIMES I WILL BE HAVING A CONVERSATION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I CANT REMEMBER WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, I FEEL STUPID, I HAVE BEEN OFF WORK WITH DEPRESSION AND PAIN, ON A LOTS OF MEDS, O MY GOD HELPPPP
 
Vitamin D deficiency can cause depression. I'd advise getting your levels tested, especially if you stay indoors a lot.

I suffered for two and a half years before doing my own research and then getting tested.
 
I agree, Vit D3 is an important one to check for whether you get plenty of sun or not. Deficiency of D3 and diabetes and depression go hand in hand as well as many other conditions. Even living in Australia and being and avid gardener and beach walker did nothing for my levels, I supplement every day now.
Wonder if you take Lipitor for cholesterol? It affects some people's memory amongst other things!
 
I keep telling people to watch out for signs of dementia, but my memory has always been awful and I doubt they could tell the difference. :lol: 59 and as far as i can remember, which ain't far, I have always been the same. Keep telling myself it's because I have too much to think about. lol
 
My Mum had trouble with her memory after 5Years on statins. Since she has stopped taking them due to serious muscle problems her memory has improved a lot.

My memory is now alarmingly bad!
It did start getting bad about a year into my diabetes, and now it's alot worse. Like alot of people I'm scared to mention it to my GP incase it's something serious.

I am pleased on hearing about the vit D3 though. Is it ok to take it long term, or only in short bursts?

I have decided to take the D3 for the rest of my life. I have my levels checked annually and use those results to see if I should slow it down or up it. I have realised that I have not been sick with a cold or virus since Feb 2006 despite kissing friends in greeting who are battling either and warning me not too come close!!

I am not sure why this is but I'll keep on taking the drops! :lol:
