I've been having memory loss. There are soo many days that I have no recolection of. I can't focus and its hard to retain information. There is so much going on. I need to go to the doctor but am afraid to hear the truth.....fear!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you taking your vitamins? I read a post earlier about someone who was not and had similar symptoms. Contact your dr. for lab work and an evaluation.

Good luck.

Absolutely have your labs checked. This is common if your numbers are off or if you are not taking your vitamins as needed. Please keep us posted and good luck!

Run, don't walk to the phone and make a doctor's appointment. There are many things that could be causing your memory loss and only a doctor can tell you what it really is. Make a list of everything you take in the way of medications, vitamins + doses, supplements + doses, herbs + doses. This will help your doctor.

It is scary, but waiting to find out what it is -- is scarier.

I'll say a prayer for you. Please let us know how you are doing. I see that you are in Stafford, Jackie Thodos has a great support group there if you don't already have one.

Thank you. No, I don't have a support group. I just moved to Northern Va a few months ago. How do I get in touch with her group?

I agree totally with what the others are saying here- you need to go get your labs checked NOW and see what you are deficient in - I think B12 for sure is a primary cause of memory loss along with B6 - you should be taking a B complex too , calcium citrate , maybe iron and Vit D....

In the meantime ,while you wait for results- start taking a good multivitamin, buy some B12 sublinguals and take them right away. They can't do you any harm and will only do you some good....

Please, please, realize how important it is to take your vitamins and fix this issue before the damage is permanent.

We are all here to support you and would certainly welcome you at our support group........

hi there, I know how you feel and send you a big cyber hug.... I stopped taking my vitamins too... not sure why... part is $$, part is depression and giving up.... part is the pain it causes my pouch..... i went and finally had all labs done and was severely deficient... did this make me start? no! I even got some vits, but didnt take them. not sure what it will take? maybe a dvine intervention. i come on here daily, i really hope/pray that i can get my act together before i fall apart. i am at my goal, actually below it. i dont eat enough most days. my boyfriend and family worry for me.... perhaps we can help each other.... private msg me if you want.... i live in norfolk.
hugs, jill
