i used to have an excellent memory, no effort required. then i was 'poisoned' by inappropriate psych meds, and lost almost all memory functions for a long time. i used a therapeutic series of sound tracks, called Binaural Beats, (combining it with meditation) to help restore my brain's functions. (you can read more at CenterPointe.com).

i have recovered from many severe brain chemistry disorders, and am now "in remission" (cured) from about 6 diagnoses, including bipolar, GAD and OCD. after 8 yrs of constant use and brain function exercises, i am finally seeing my memory begin to work again. (Hallelu~!). i can't tell you how much this means to me~!

i don't know what is the root cause of your condition, but i can tell you that all memory is a function of brain chemistry~ if your brain is not producing the right chemicals, you will not remember, no matter what you do. then it is wise to get acquainted with some 'memory aids', daily reminders, journaling, etc. that is not my area of specialty (i just learned to be in the 'now' , and let go of what i could not retain).

best wishes~
