LydiaB, I noticed changes to my memory starting about 5 years ago. I went to a neurologist then and just went back this year, as I noticed new things and/or an increase in intensity. I've had neuro psych test, MRI, and EEG. I've had complete blood workup due to thyroid but nothing to really connect it to physical stuff. I do struggle with anxiety (and most likely hypochondria) and memory issues is a symptom of that. I've also been at a very stressful job for 4 years now and that's also a cause of memory issues. I've never believed my memory problems have been related to anxiety or stress, but after all the tests this year, I'm starting to think that may be the case. I'm scheduled to see the neurologist again in three months. My plan of action is to do everything I can to ensure my lifestyle supports good memory. Diet, exercise and meditation. I'm starting slow, but I believe these will help me, and I hope that I can report a difference to the doctor in three months. I also am dissociative. While I don't think my memory issues are related to that, I do believe mindfulness is also a problem of mine (and possibly a result of the dissociation). So mindfulness is an area, coupled with meditation, that I'm working on.
