Cognition Stories

That would be a very bad side effect for me.

A racing heart brings a panic attack for me.

JOH, what information do you have about this, please, and yes I'd also like to know if anyone else takes it and what their experiences are.

 

I don't play a lot of games online but I started playing, "Criminal Case." It's free.

It has puzzles and things for memory and I find it helps my concentration.

Today was a silly things that anyone could do.
I went grocery shopping and got inside I realized I had left the list in the car.
When I picked up the pizza I used the one card they don't accept and I know they don't accept it.
Had to go home and get cash.
I was running a lot of errands so these could be attributed to that but I don't so.

 

You're on the phone and you get another call.
You put the first call on hold and answer the second call and make it quick and hang up.
Now, you thing you switched back to the first call and go on a rant but...
Apparently another call came through and you're talking to someone who now thinks you're a nut.

Coincidence?
Cognition?
Or it could happen to anyone?

Has anything like this ever happened to you?

(it's kind of funny now)

 

I've found some things that are really helping with memory and cognition.

I'm playing Words with Friends online.
I'm doing 1 crossword puzzle a day.I'm playing another game online called, "Criminal Case," which has many different kinds of puzzles to solve that require memory.
I'm looking at other license plates when I drive and making words trying to use all of the letters.
I even have an Adult Zen coloring book, don't laugh, it's very calming, and I'm trying to work on it for 1/2 and hour everyday.
I'm keeping busy and by the end of the day I'm exhausted but it's that good kind of fatigue and that feeling of accomplishing something.
Today I've been multi-tasking and barely had one of those memory lapses.

I'm either feeling better physically or going back into remission.
I'm trying not to be too excited.

Try these things for awhile and see if they help.
Of course I'm sure I'll still have cognition problems but a break is a wonderful thing.
One day at a time.

 

This is for you guys experiencing cognition problems.

 

Oh my, did you break them?

My husband makes fun of me all the time for forgetting where something is...now I move his stuff around and swear he's just as forgetful as I am.

Going out this afternoon and it's raining. Who knows what could happen today, lol.

I wish more people would share their stories here.

 

Can you be doing something and think ahead to the next 3 things you're going to do?
Then you see something to do in between.
How long before you even remember the first one, let alone the third?
I try to cluster things I'm going to do so when I do one thing it's natural to go to the next.
Such as:
Empty the dogs dishes, clean, and refill. Water, too.
Which leads to, washing the cat dishes, filling the dry kibble bowls and of course clean and fill the water dishes.
Which leads to the litter boxes.
I got distracted after the dog chores.
It took me sitting on the sofa for about 15 minutes before it hit me and I went and did it.
These are things I do everyday.
How do people multi-task?
I'm going to have to buy a LOT of sticky notepads.

 

How's your spelling and handwriting?
I usually have beautiful script. Do kids even practice script anymore?)
Now where was I?

Oh, do you ever have to copy something by hand?
You're copying and you still misspell or leave a word out and your handwriting or printing is horrible?

I think it's a good thing to recognize these things, at the same time it makes it worse.

 

I lost my car at the mall...again.

 

Ok folks,

I'm have a huge problem.
I've been having cognition issues and my short term memory is gone...
I. Cannot. Find. My. Engagement. Ring.

I remember taking it off but I was really sleepy. I have a number of places I will put something somewhere I'd remember and I still forget.
I keep misspelling words.
My handwriting Sucks when it was quite good.

I'm going to bring this issue up with I next see my primary.
But for now, Please send me all of the prayers you can that I find it soon?

I won't stop thinking about it until I find it.
I'm trembling and my breathing is fast. Like borderline panic.

There's a personal reason why I have to hide certain things.
