Wow! I'm so glad I've been reading thru these posts today. Since all of my severe symptoms started in the middle of March I've noticed a huge increase in memory loss. Like all of you have mentioned I too, have had a lot of memory problems as you all have mentioned.

Things that I forget or have problems with: names of friends or people I should know, subjects I'm having conversations with in the middle of, words to use during a conversation, appointments and times and places where to go, events, and so on. Pure brain fog. Now I completely understand why my neurologist is having my memory tested next week. I thought it was due to a medication I'm taking. Guess that is not the reason why. When I did a search on this disease it never had memory loss as a symptom but it appears it is a bigger symptom than is ever recognized.

It is very humbling when this happens in public or with family/friends. They just do not understand and look at you like 'what a dork'. When I showed my DH last night a lot of the things about MG he then realized that I do have something severely wrong with me after not believing anything has been wrong with me for the last 9 months. He has noticed the memory loss and slurred speech for a few months but didn't think anything of it.

I'm really glad that the doctor mentioned this disease yesterday. Though I don't want anything serious wrong with me- I do want answers and a form of treatment for my symptoms and hope that I will have some periods in time that I can feel better instead of constant misery. I'm scared of never feeling better ever again.
