words I hate to hear.
 

there are 3-4 words that I hate hearing.


Do you remember?......
Don't you remember?....


My memory is terrible.
hubby gets frustrated with me. He said he would take care of me

when I am feeble..... I told him that I was closer to that

than I like (if truth be told.)
sigh

oh no, Bizi!
I can only imagine. I mean, I'm forgetting some things, but I think my mind is just overwhelmed. i'm not sure. or it's ADHD
but sometimes even my H gets frustrated with me for forgetting...like I got distracted and left the stove on again tonight eek!
it can be scary. I'm sorry you hate those words. I'm sure it brings a lot of anxiety too. *hugs*:hug:

Bizi

Sending some hugs and good thoughts. Remind him that things
get worse with anxiety when he reminds you that you forget.

have you tried any supplements for your memory. Jeff is such a dear. You are blessed. Later I will do some research but I bet your memory will get a lot better now that you are consuming only a teeny weeny bit of alcohol.
Also you keep yourself so very busy that that we part of it because maybe you don't give yourself enough time to reflect. also check out your medications and see if a side effect is impairing your memory.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF.
love.

notice the last line about healing


Multiple studies have found a link between excessive alcohol use and damaged brain function, resulting in such conditions as dementia, deficits in learning and memory, mental disorders, and other cognitive damage. Without intervention, the brain can be permanently impaired by chronic alcohol use. With treatment, it’s possible to reverse this damage and heal the brain.

What are the 3 foods that fight memory loss? If you're asking for 3 foods that fight memory loss, berries, fish, and leafy green vegetables are 3 of the best. There's a mountain of evidence showing they support and protect brain health.

Thank you bobby.
I took prevagen for a while and saw no difference.

I only took it for a month.
That was disappointing.
It was expensive.

i read that no supplements work. you are on the right track by cutting way back on you alcohol consumption and I bet soon you will some improvement.

When the researchers studied the positive changes in gray matter volume, they concluded that most of these changes occurred in the three-week span between the end of the first week of abstinence and the end of the first month of abstinence. The positive changes in white matter volume occurred at a fairly consistent pace throughout the seven and a half months of abstinence.

hi bobby,
thanks for looking that up for me.
I appreciate you.
I was going to drink new years eve, but will be mindful of my drinking. We are going to some friends house for gumbo, she has been AF for a while now too, wanting to lose wieght.
she has lost 10 pounds in less than a month.my weight is 184.3 this morning I have been hoovering around the 184 for at least a week. so I have stalled.
I must not give up.
thank you for your support.
love bizi

you won't give up. you are winning the battle and you will come the victor.
I just broke down and ordered three packages of the cookies. i broke my denture on one of them-living dangerously.
I don't know how long plateaus last.
Aren't you are excited that your memory will come back gradually?
love
bobby

because I love you so much I have to write is it worth it anymore to drink because it can also can cause permanent damage. so hard for me to write that.
love,
bobby

It may stay there for a while, or it may go down again when
you least expect it. So just don't worry to much about it.

Dear Bobby, I know that you love me and I love you too.
I just heard from caroline2. She suggested we take grapeseed oil.
To help with memory loss.
I asked her the dose that she recommends. I will post it when I hear from her again.
love bizi

caroline writes at times to me. I will look up grapeseed oil but when I looked for supplements to help your memory they said none work.
I really do love you and I am think to think how long we have none each other.
have you ever tried maalox as a laxative?
love
bobby
wow you joined in august 2006 and I in Sept 2006 an then there was the forum before this.

The phenolic compounds in grape seed extract, especially oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs), catechin, epicatechin, procyanidins, gallic acid, and gallocatechin, help to improve your memory and overall brain health.Sep 9, 2020

I will have to talk to my health food store about dosing.
Thank you for looking that up bobby!
love bizi

Good luck with finding just the right dosage.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Caroline wrote me back and said that she takes 200mg daily but can't take it if you are on a blood thinner. jeff bought me some yesterday at the health food store 100mg so I will take 2 pills, starting tomorrow.

tract?
Conclusion: The combination of vitamin C and grape seed polyphenols significantly increased BP and although the mechanism remains to be elucidated, the results suggest caution when hypertensive subjects consider using supplements that may contain combination vitamin C and polyphenols.

Thanks bobby, I don't take a blood thinner nor do I have hypertension, I do take vit C 1,000mg daily.
love bizi

should you the drop vitamin C? Aaron called who seems to know everything? I bought it after reading about memory. I take Plavix and don't take C which I have. Aaron told me not to take it unless my doctor approves of it for.me. He said it wouldn't just effect bleeding.
love
bobby

from what I just read, only people with hypertension should not take vit c with the grape seed extract.
I don't have hypertension.
I just had a nice bm sennacot to the rescue Well it was really peri colaceI took 4 last night at mid night. It took 19 hours to work. That is a long time to wait. I normally take 3 a day.If no bm in 3 days then I will take the 4 pills. and I usually go 12 hours later.
sorry if TMI.:o

Never to much information if it helps you to remember
to write it down.

I am really so glad that I usually have it easier to solve this
problem with my fiber pills. I just have to remember to
take them.

I have swapped addictions from alcohol to these partake non alcoholic beers with 10 calories and less than .5% alcohol, I usually drink 3-4 at night then 1or2 of the 0.0.0. no calories, no alcohol at all. and taste sort of like beer.
I hope you have a great new year ahead of you.
