Suggest Treatment For Short Term Memory Loss

default
Posted on Tue, 7 Mar 2017
Question: I recently (within the last 3-5 months) have been experiencing short term memory loss. I work in a highly technical field and so far can continue competently, but the memory loss requires me to write more notes to myself that I forget to check. I am relying more and more on people around me to keep me on task. I hope that whatever I am going through is environmental (I live in an RV that a couple of years ago had some mold issues that I think i cleared up well - Mold Bomb and scrubbing). I am scared that my mind is getting destroyed and I won't come back.

Brief Answer:
Mild cognitive impairment to consider.

Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

It is necessary to get evaluated further about conditions such mild cognitive impairment, before to leave the culprit to mold.

Neuropsychological tests and brain imaging (MRI) are necessary for this purpose.

Discuss with your Doctor about these issues.
