I remember asking if anyone had ridges on there nails,or hair loss and when people said "me too!" I felt so much better LOL We use to share funny stories about our short term memory loss,you had to laugh we had some good ones.

Hi Mimi,
Ooops... just changed my icon! I was feeling scared the other day; a few reasons really! I'm going for coiling & stenting on 11/2 & I was having a bit of a wobbler about that, although I'm usually fine about it... apart from that I was fretting over my vision problems, which is a little silly & ungrateful of me as they're annie-related and unlikely to get any worse - and once it's stopped deteriorating after the op I'll be fine (I've lost about 1/3 of my visual field)! There was a bit of a family problem too & I felt I was being totally ineffective (daughter at Uni 300 miles away was feeling lonely & homesick & I felt I failed to comfort her).
I probably shouldn't have short-term memory probs because I've not had a rypture; however my neuroradiologist told me I'd probably had small "leaks" over the years. And oh boy, I certainly have the memory problems... and an attention span of about 30 seconds at times
. It's often really funny; last night my husband and I were chatting and watching Tv, and he replied to something I'd asked him. I sat there & pondered for a minute, but to no avail. Eventually I had to say "You know you've just replied to me? Erm.... what did I ask you?".
You have to laugh, don't you?
