These are things that help me. I had an RTL in March of 2008.
-write things down. Take a small notebook and label it "Drs". In it
write questions that come up and take it to appts. to get answers and
write down the things your Dr. tells you. Use small notebooks labeled
with other titles for things you know you need to remember.
-make lists. Keep one on your fridge to add needed grocery items when
it comes up for example.
-have a regular routine of doing the same things on the same day. It
takes time to get use to it and make it work, but a routine makes it
easier to remember things.
-keep some sort of calender.
-send yourself emails about things you need to remember later and keep
them until you don't need them anymore.
-play games that require use of memory. There are apps for both android
and iphone that do this. It helps your brain rework how to make your
memory work better.
-ask for help. If there id something you routinely forget, ask someone
to remind you of it.
-Don't be afraid to admit you can't do something if it puts to much
stress on you and causes more memory difficulty. Most things are not
worth causing us stress and more issues.
-Don't get to frustrated by your memory issues, it actually makes it
worse not better.
