I get the forgetful spots all the time lol, one of the many perks of CRPS it's cracking when it happens in the middle of teaching... I find if I just laugh it off people accept it better than if I let it get me down. Depends on the person though - some folk are miseries and take anybody forgetting something they said as a personal insult!! It's really difficult when it's a work thing. Do they know about your CRPS and that you are on pain meds?

Take care, and try not to beat yourself up about this kind of thing - its not your fault, and you are doing the best you can... That's all anyone should ask of another person
