[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 130469, member: 87"] Sometimes I have trouble with my short-term memory, or I mix two-word combinations up. I am in perimenopause and have MS, so it's hard to say if it's from one or the other or both.....probably both. Anyway, if I'm not uptight about it and try to laugh about it, it helps ease the tension of the problem. Maybe in some cases it drives husband crazy, i.e. phone rings, he answers it, talks briefly and hangs up. I ask who called. He tells me. A minute later I ask the same thing. I know that the phone rang and he talked to someone, but I can't remember his answer as to whom. Sometimes I have to ask 3-4 times. I read that it's helpful to prevent dementia by keeping your mind active with things that make you use your brain like crossword puzzles. I like to watch the TV program Cash Cab. If you haven't seen it, it's a TV game show that takes place inside a real taxi cab in NY. The people who get into the cab have no idea it's a game show. They are asked questions and have 5 seconds to answer. It's fun to try to guess the answers and really gets your brain going. Anyway, hopefully this is just a temporary thing you are going through. Maybe talking with your dr. would be best. Hugs, Sue [/QUOTE]
