Thank you loads for your posts everyone, it's great to know that there's other people in the same boat! As well as forgetting day to day things, I feel like there's massive holes in my past because I've forgotten so much. Sometimes I feel bad when my friends are all talking and I can't get focus on what they're saying enough to join in. But knowing other people find the same thing helps me see that it's a side effect of the disease and not just laziness on my part. However, thanks for the advice to speak to a doctor, this might be a good idea.

I'm really glad I wrote, thanks again for your responses.
