RE: [epilepsy] Re: Short term memory post surgery

 

Regarding short term memory... especially in the hotter dryer summer months
it is important to note that proper hydration of the body which includes the
brain is critical. This is true also of the brain as a mere 1% of
dehydration causes 5% of the brain / memory disruption.

Try to drink at least 8 - 8oz glasses of water a day, sounds like a lot but
it is only the amount of one big gulp at 7-11! Try to drink spring water not
"purified" water as purified waters are most often quite acidic due to its
processing.

Subject: [epilepsy] Re: Short term memory post surgery

My short-term memory has surely gotten worse over the years since my
procedure back in the early 1990's, but I feel that a lot of it is because
of my own actions.

For me, I guess I became afraid of not being able to remember ANYTHING, so I
wrote way-too-much. I overreacted and wrote things unnecessarily, so much
that it interfered with the day; I'd just stop and want to write something
if I felt it was important to remember.

I'm better now and not as afraid. I keep & recommend a digital voice
recorder; if it's hanging around my neck and I need to remember something,
I'll just switch it on and record what is needed.

The neurologist said that it's good that I use that.

can do to change this. Your experience or opinion would be meaningful.
Thanks.
