Having Alzhimers on both sides of the family is a very scary thing for me. It has taken me years of trying to get my Mom help, but she refused to do anything but Mourn the loss of her love. Signs all over.
I have a horrible memory myself. But instead of working myself in to frenzy, I back off as best as possible. When I have a garden I will have a good place to decompress and that helps alot.

Migraine.com is a great resource for us all. I read earlier on the site “Migraines are more than a Headache” was the Title. They listed ALL the symptoms that was Scary I thought. I sometimes have Brain Fog and I always feel as though my whole body is going in slow motion because of IBS-D I stopped taking Amitriptyline and Topamax under Dr’s care. I had been taking those for years. My IBS has made my whole body stressed that it doesn’t help my symptoms. Please take care

I am starting to worry. I just read an article. I hate all the meds i am on. There are lesions on my brain according to my MRI that are new. I have it on my to do list to start the med diet, exercise more, i asked my boyfriend to start playing board games with me and start reading more. i am going to start researching what else i can do. I have been under tremendous stress these past 3 years. My mom had a double transplant and my father had pancreatic cancer. I am on xanax and read that can affect your memory. I am going to try and work on my anxiety through exercise and meditation and get off xanax. But yes, im scared too!
