I've continued working (partly stubborness and lots of medication). My job requires that I recall lots of data and quickly.
For some time now (and increasing every day it seems) I have been forgetting the data the minute it comes into my head. I used to think it was just my short term memory problems but now it's almost instant memory problems!!!!
Has anyone read any book, article or has any advice on how to improve this? If I can't get this under control I'm concerned about maintaining my job.
Medication, herbs, accupuncture, books, anything?
thank you all for your response and thank you all for being here!!  |
Hi tg1999
Peter B is right. Changes in cognitive performance should be checked out medically. After that, I have used modafinil for the cognitive effects of chronic FMS-like muscle pain for about a year. For me, it improves working memory, attention control, emotion modulation and impulse inhibition.
Stress reduction also makes a big difference.
Best wishes
