Do any of you suffer from memory problems? confused

I seem to get very distracted from things and forget stuff. The other day I was going to enter my students grades on the computer for the new year and my mind went blank on how to add assignments. smhair

 I feel so scrambled. I have to write notes to myself to keep track of what I need to remember. nono smhair

Everyone around me talks about their childhood memories and I remember only snatches of mine. I'm only 41. shocked mad cry

Hello,     confused

I've had a thyroid problem for 13 years, I started out with graves disease, radioactive treatment to shrink the thyroid and I've been on medication ever since then.  I use to take Levoxyl but I recently changed to Synthroid, not sure what the difference is but even if they told me, I can't remember!!!!!

I never thought that it could be my thyroid that was messing with my memory.  OMG, I can't remember thing either.  I could do something tomorrow and the next day, I have to seriously think about it and even then I have to ask my husband what I did.  I feel bad when my kids talk about the things they did and I seriously don't remember.  I have had to try to write notes in a calendar book to try to remember things I've done. 

Has anyone ever told you that this could be a thyroid problem?

I've heard it's a possible side effect from my thyroid book, but I was kinda wondering if anyone else suffers from it.

It's very difficult when you try to remember stuff and your mind is a total blank. confused

When I cook something in the stove I have to carry a timer around with me to remind me I have something cooking. I don't leave the kitchen when I'm cooking on the stove top I'm afraid I might forget about it. nono

I thought it would be years before I start thinking about "the here after" , but now I'm always asking myself "now what am I here after?" turn

I also have thyroid disease...and fibromyalgia. Thyroid is something I've dealt with since I was a child. My mother had the same problem. I know my fibro gives me brain fog and that sounds like what you are having...also my sister in law who had ms has the same problem. But I've never remembered my childhood very much...much of it seems to have left me over the years. I'm 59 so seems only appropriate that I'd have lost it before you did!

I couldn't remember most of my childhood when I was in my twentys, but it has gotten worse over the years. I forget while I'm bathing if I have already washed my hair or not. It's very frustrating.
