Memory Loss

Memory loss is a very painful thing to see with your loved ones. You are at a loss because there is nothing you can really do to help and reverse the situation!

What causes memory loss?? There are so many things that can cause memory loss. One of them is aging, which occurs because the brain cells start dying which influences the ways in which the information is recalled within the brain. Another cause is brain trauma , which can be permanent or temporary, the major cause is stroke. Other causes may be drug and alcohol abuse,dementia, medications or infections.

What are the symptoms of memory loss? It varies from person to person, like forgetting names and dates, running errands and forgetting the reason for the errand, easily getting lost, having difficulties in performing familiar tasks such as driving and baking! Oh, oh!!! Except for driving and baking, I have experienced some of these symptoms!!! Do I have some "Somezheimer's" already??? You are really a dingbat!!! It is called Alzheimer's, not Somezheimer's! Well, my mind is still good most of the time that is why I call it Somezheimer's!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are really crazy!!!! You concocted another word again!!!! The first symptom is confusion or decreased alertness. My gosh!!!! Most of the time I am really confused!!!! You are really ninkampoof!!!! Memory loss is not a laughing matter!!! Who is laughing???? Nenenenene... she got you!!!!

What can we do to prevent it??? Sudden trauma resulting in head injury can be prevented by wearing seatbelts while driving or wearing a helmet while biking! One should avoid alcohol abuse, quit smoking,eat nutritious foods, reduce stress, exercise and socialize! If you have high blood pressure, control it with medication!!!

Can it be treated? Not, unless it is is caused by a reversible condition. Which is??? Amnesia!!! Doctors, is this right??? Comments, anyone???

Memory loss is indeed something that we hate to see occur in someone we know. Hopefully, we will not experience it ourselves. It is indeed very painful to see a loved one deteriorate and does not know you when you are with them. What do we do??? Just keep the person company and keep praying!!! Some said that there are sometimes episodes that the person will know you and they always seize that day!!!

How does some people in their 90's or 100's do it??? There are some that are really enjoying life to the fullest in their 90's or 100's, and their minds are still very sharp!!! For one thing, we should all start to somewhat reduce stress in our lives no matter how impossible it might be! We also have to eat better nutritious foods, exercise and be happy!!!!

Smile!!!! Have a good and pleasant day!!!!!
