In the last few months I've found my short term memory is getting to be noticeable. This morning, I freaked out when I couldn't remember taking my pills. I could remember taking the big antibiotic pill (Bactrim) because I have to bite it into several pieces to get it down, but I don't remember any of the others! (5 in all). I tried and tried to jog my memory, but.... nothing. I checked my pill dispenser--thank goodness I have it, labeled with each day of the week), and the pills I normally take in the morning were missing. So I HAD to have taken them. It really bugs me and scares me that I might be headed toward dementia. I'll be 60 this month. A few times, I've forgotten to feed the dogs and my husband had to remind me. And I went in to make my bed on a couple of occasions just to see I'd already done it. I've never been this forgetful before. Does this happen to any of you?
