Long time no see...again....
I don't know why I don't come here anymore, I really should. I know that I probably don't have many readers anymore, and I guess that's why I'm here now.
I have been really stressing lately. I have been having a lot of issues remembering, as well as speaking. There are days when my long term memory is amazing (I remembered all the names of the kids in Family Affair, for cripe's sake!) but my short term memory is shot all to hell. I know that is sort of common as you get older, and even more common with Fibromyalgia, but this is, at times, to an extreme that I can't even begin to describe. I am also having problems speaking at times. I mean, I CAN speak just fine, it's just that what I say is sometimes confused. I will be talking about something having to do with food, for example, and suddenly the word "shoe" will wind up in the sentence. In and Alsheimer's patient, that is often known as "word salad".
I know that I need to talk to my wife about it, but I don't want to make her worry any more than she already does. And to talk to my Doc about it, I would have to talk to Paula about it too, as she is always at my doctor's appointments due to the short-term memory issues.
