I have been very concerned about my memory loss. It is so humiliating. I am a teacher. Today at work I said to my co-worker, "OMG, I forgot to mark Makayla absent!" She gave me that look. "We don''t have a Makayla this year." I feel like such an idiot and am afraid someone is going to tell my principal that I'm losing it. I am also unable to spell. This was never a problem before. And my vocabulary? I don't have words to describe it. LOL. I'm 44 and thought for sure that I had early onset Alzheimers and also severe arthritis because my hips hurt. So glad it's drugs, not me.
Has anyone noticed any vitamins, foods, etc. that helps? I will be devastated if I have to ditch my nightly glass of wine! Anyone relate?
