I have had significant memory problems. I could not remember significant events in my past, my vocabulary in conversations was quite limited to simple words, and I spent allot of time finding the right word that only stood there on the tip of my tounge which stopped me in the middle of sentences. I often could not tell you what I did earlier in the day. I have been this way for several years!

I am on a different med cocktail now. I remember words like "instigate" and use it properly in a sentence at the moment I need it. I know what I did earlier in the day and even the day before this one. I am beginning to remember the specifics of events that happened in my life many years ago. And I can think through things of simple to moderate complexity.

What happened? I do not know! But it may have been the combination of medications that I had been on, or the result of a mind that was "disturbed" with mood swings and the associated cognitive deficits.

What do all of you think?
