Memory & Concentration

[Jeanied]

Now my memory is playing tricks - I am sure I reported Stanford some days ago for this but I see I couldn't have! Deja vue!

[Nicos]

That'll be your age hon!

That'll be your age hon!

Gee thanks Nicos!

Where is Standford? He seems to have disappeared in a gust of French wind - and serve him right too.

[cardiffsteve]

Have I missed something?
Who/what/where is Standford?

[veggiechicken]

Its OK Steve, he called in earlier, saw you were out and left. No message!

[Nicos]

gone into the ether! ...keep up lad!

Standford is your pusher Steve......wait a minute.....did you say your memory was affected by your drugs? You need to stop taking that stuff Standford is supplying. Just say No.

I missed Standford too, but I'm rather glad I did! I'm pretty good at remembering things if they're important. If I forget trivia, well, it doesn't matter does it? I do use aide memoire in the form of diaries (electronic and hard copy) and I make lists sometimes, but as others have said, an active mind exercises the memory.

I am not on any meds.

I do at least 2 cross words everyday plus other puzzles, I love problem solving.

I keep a paper diary, page a day filofax, I have a year planner, I have two calendars.

And I still need a son to remind me when its SWMBO's birthday, we only been wed for 40 years after all.

It's Rosemary for memory, I sometimes use a few drops of essential oil in bath water, but Ginko Gihoba or something like that is well known for inproving memory and concentration see your local health food shop. Do something mentally challenging every day and if you can exercise it improves your oxygen uptake too, even if it's lifting your arms up and down until you get slightly breathless-you with then find you can increase the amount of times you do them as time progresses
