Ever since my MIs hit I have struggled with my memory. I have tried keeping notes but then I forget to do it or where I put the note. I got an app for my phone, but I forget to use it.
I had ECT, which helped me get out of a deep depressive episode, but made my memory worse. Talking this over with my pdoc, she suggested using Lumosity (
Brain Games & Brain Training - Lumosity) to help improve my memory.
If you're not familiar with Lumosity, it is a set of games that help with memory, following directions, ... It takes into account your mood, age and the amount of sleep you had the night before. You start by taking some tests to determine where you're at.
My pdoc suggests this to all her ECT patients. I started about 3 weeks ago, doing it 3 times a week, and according to their tracking record I am improving.
