:o) I am so glad there are others who feel the same.. my memory is drastic.. most people will say it is down to the medication but I can recall my bouts of 'losing things' and 'forgetting things' to way back to before i was even diagnosed, so I would say it is more to do with N than to do with Meds.

My sister is a great judge of my sleepiness. She knows exactly when i should sleep. She even knows when I am due my next dose of meds. As when i am due to take them, like half an hour or an hour before i really need them (try to hang off till I need them) I go into 'gobbldygook' stage.. I am saying one thing in my head, and a lot of gibberish comes out my mouth. My sister just gives me a look and says Medication time? LOL.. I don't even recall that I have just spoken the biggest load of rubbish.. I could argue point blank that I had spoken my sentence properly.. But she gets a good laugh out of it..

It's crazy though.. to think.. I could be doing that at work or anywhere and the person's I am talking to might not know i have N and just think I am a complete loon! :o) they'd be right :o)

Take care and sleep well..
xx

Ps.... funny.. losing my memory.. I never forget to sleep :o)
