I do know that stress can exacerbate any memory problems, and you are dealing with a lot of serious health problems and related worries.

I'm 63, and yes I am forgetful without Gabapentin, and surely the stress & discomfort doesn't help, but being presently on less than half the high dose that I was on, I can feel the cloud lifting & my brain clearing, & can tell I am getting less forgetful.
