Is your memory fails you?

I am 63 yrs young and till now i have a very good memory. I can still remember certain incidents which took place when i was 4 yrs old.However sometimes and that is rarely my mind suddenly goes blank and if i try tostrain myself to remember i find that i just cannot do it. But the next day when i am having a bath and when i pour cold water over my head suddenly i remember it. Funny isn`t it?This has happened to me several times.Why don`t you try it, it may work?

30s??? Wait til you get into your late 40s and 50. People have come up to me saying "hey, Marty, how you doin?" I'll answer I'm doing OK. I have no idea who this person is. It may be somewone I haven't seen in years or maybe one of brother's friends who I have seen a coupple times but now I don't remember.

generally not till date. i try to remember things hard and it is also the case i end up being remembering them.

My memory fails me sometimes. I usually write things down to help me remember the most important things.

Hello,Grace! My memory is very sharp at the age of seventy.It has not so far betrayed me on any occasion.If you feel your brain is failing eat diets sweetened with honey which can recover your brain power.Honey is the best medicine for improving memory.thanx.

Oh I've always been a forgetful person even when I was younger. I don't know if this is memory gap or what. I can't accept I have a memory gap even if I am in my 50's already because I can still memorize chapters in the Bible. Imagine that not only verses but chapters do I memorize. How could I have memory gap. But how come I can forget and have actually lost countless of umbrellas while traveling. Well topics that were supposed to posted here also go out of my memory after couples of minutes. But I'm glad I could recall after some deep recall. (Ha!ha!ha!) Well, they say it is not actually memory gap but thinking of so many things which our brain can no longer hold. Could it be true? Well too me it is true, because I am one busy person and I want to accomplish so many things that I tend to forget some details. Another thing is that I don't always give enough attention like I just put down things and then later I'd be crazy looking for where I placed that thing...either a pen or glasses! Tsk, tsk!tsk!

I know what you mean... i am already in my early thirties... and i had epidural when i gave birth... so my memory would always falter... and when it comes to discussions here in mylot... it is so important to take down notes when we suddenly have a great idea... or else... we would surely forget it when we sit infront of the computer...

no my daughter is in her 30's and she just has so much to do and on her mind she often forgets things. i did at her age to and still do. it has a lot to do with whats all on your mind and stress, emotions, etc.

hi there. i could really relate to you. Im so forgetful. . forgetting even important things. im also contemplating on taking memory pills but one friend told me that the problem is not my memory, but having a so pre-occupied mind. im a mother, wife, career woman and businesswoman. having so many thing in mind, we tend to forget several things. we need to prioritize things and focus on them.

As the diversity takes the position and multitasking also added up it become difficult for the human to get compete with all works as much they can..so its human to forget or miss the overlapping thoguhts and ofcourse the memory too.. i could say relax improves the memory levels too

Aww..Well even I am young I always forget something and I am really forget with my age and I dont understand why..There are times that I put my phone to the table for a minute and then I forgot where it is just for a minute too..I hate it because it makes lots of troubles for me but anyway I always put some list and plan so that I will not forget it...:-0 God bless and have a nice day...;-0

i am yohanes yan.. i am 19 years old.. and im often forget something.. i try to make my memory sharp again like formerly.. huft.. at last i try to look it from other aspect.. i foud it as a surplus or benefit to me,, i can forget my sadness,, my problems,, and many bad think just in few day or week.. haha... i grateful i can forget.. ^^

Yes , me too , I often suddenly forgets what i want to do ): But i guess everyone has the same problem (:

Memory exercises really help a lot. I can solve the rubik's cube blindfolded and it really sharpens up my memory. It is very helpful in my study of nursing because in nursing, there are tons of information which needs to be familiarized and also memorized. Anyway, be careful of some memory enhancer pills. Because some medicines which increases memory are the medicines that is used to treat mental retardation. Here in the Philippines there is this one memory enhancer medicines and some people complains dizziness and headaches.
