Do you remember?

Tue, May 06, 2008 10:15 AM

Hello everyone. For as long as I can remember(which is ironic) I have had trouble with memory loss. Things from my childhood before I was dignosed I can't remember. My friends and family have to constantly remind me of what we were talking about or important dates coming up. My mother will tell me somthing and instintly I will forget and have to ask her what she said like a million times. It makes me feel bad because sometimes they just get down right rude and irratated. I would love to know if i'm the only who suffers from CRS syndrone. Thanks, Take care and God Bless.

Thanks, it's nice to know i'm not alone with this. I hear fish oil is good for your brain just can't remember what part it is a frustrating problem. I'll try the drug stores and let you know what it's called. If I can remember. Take care

Thanks, Elissa

Yes you can count me in on this one. My memory loss seems to be more significant with each day. It certain illnesses it is a side effect although I don't think it is with either Crohns or UC...don't know can't remember LOL!

I know there are some all natural supplements you can take to help improve memory....of course I can't remember the name. You can find them at any local drug or GNC store.
