Hey Gang!
Hope everyone is having a great day! I've been really busy at work and by the time I get home I just crash. But I still DO get on Intercot daily and read although I may not post as often.
I have a question and would like some advice.
Some of you know that I deal with Crohn's disease. I've had many many surgeries and was hospitalized from Oct-Dec last year. I was on heavy medication and was so out of it the majority of the time. I've been in/out of the hospital numerous times since 2000.
I've been noticing lately, that I've been having the hardest time remembering things. Especially now that I'm working. It's like I can't concentrate and remember what my bosses are telling me what/how to do something. So I was thinking, "Maybe it's all the drugs/medicines I was on during all my hospitalizations?" :confused:
If they are explaining something to me, and they all know this is a new field for me, I seem to forget by the time I get to my desk. I have been writing things down too as it does help.
Does anyone know if there is like an herbal supplement I could take or any kind of medicines that will help me with my memory? Am I crazy for thinking b/c of all the drugs I had to be on during the hospital caused this? Now, i am no drug addict or anything, but they were giving me some pretty heavy stuff during all my hospitalizations....
I just feel so bad b/c now that I'm working I dont want to forget things all the time - like little things. Which I know i have b/c they've told me. And they are all so nice about it, but deep down I'm like, "Monica you used to have a better memory than this!" UGH! :(
Any advice, suggestions or encouraging words will be greatly appreciated!! :D
