[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 151524"] I have great issues with memory too and the fact that I take a tiny bit of Topamax for my migraines makes matters worse. I take a baby dosage of Ritalin and this has helped me. I also take a lot of vitamins....the B vitamins seem to be of help as well as getting in moderate exercise (when do-able) and rest. Some people swear that Acetyl L-Carnitine (from health food store) helps. Fortunately, my body aches are not usually terrible and usually Naproxen does the trick. To help witih memory... I am trying to write things down. Lately, when I meet folks...I email myself their names so that I can check my email before seeing them again. HOw is that for "different?" Folks freak out when I forget their name and ASSUME I have "attitude." When I tell them that I am struggling with memory issues, some of them look at me like I am making this up or exaggerating. However, since my memory worsened noticeably since taking Topamax...and I have also noticed that I seem to struggle in general more than most women my age, I don't think that is the case. It does BUG me that folks are so skeptical and what is doubly odd is that they are skeptical over really silly things. [/QUOTE]
