I just had a read of that link Mags, and you're right, it looks about the same, but that's not where I read it. How odd.
The magazine I saw it in was:
www.wddty.com if that's any use?

) that the brain cannot cope with all the demands that come with stress and lack of sleep so it will 'shut down' areas it considers unimportant and short term memory tends to be one of the first to get shut down or reduced.

Re: Memory Loss
My son, as I have mentioned in the past, is dyslexic and has severe short term memory problems. Have to admit that there have been moments when this has had amusing results, but generally it is just flippin' frustrating. Drives me nuts, for instance, if I have asked him to do something, and he has responded yes, but was not actually concentrating on what I was saying but is instead concentrating on what he was planning to do next, then it is practically guaranteed that he will immediately forget what it was I asked him to do.My problem though, and am sure many other members can agree, is that dreadful moment, mid sentence, when a word/name disappears somewhere between brain and mouth? You open mouth to say it, and its gone, kaput disappeared. And don't you feel foolish??

Re: Memory Loss
My mother had dementure, largely undiagnosed, during the couple of years leading up to her death. We all coped with that up to a point. The most difficult thing to understand was the short term memory loss she experienced in her last few months.Either myself or my brother or sister went to see her every day in her sheltered accommodation, which she refused to leave right up until the end.
Imagine, waking up and not knowing who you were or where you were. Three times a day care workers came in to assist. Sometimes she welcomed them, sometimes she threw them out.
Sometimes becoming paranoid & accusing them of stealing, of all things, her goldfish. Mother started hiding rolls of £200 or £300 in between books or under her mattress.
She could remember songs from years back, when she was quite well known locally as a singer in clubs & pubs. She never gave up her make up , hairdo’s & long fingernails, painted red of course.
In constant pain from a crumbling spine we had her stay with us on a Saturday & she enjoyed singing old songs with us on YouTube. Just for a moment her smile faded & she gave me a long , long , look, Great tears welled up in her eyes & dropped to the floor. The look said “I can’t live like this any more”
My brother & sister visited her the next day and were greeted with a big smile and a chirpy “Good, you can make me a nice cup of tea”. When they returned from the kitchen she was gone, passed away , quietly , still smiling.
Life compensates in the end. I truly believe she's with my dear Dad forever young.
Touched me that did RJ .....|
