Is Anyone Else Getting Really Forgetful? And Is There Anything That Can Help??

Hi ladies,

I have searched but can not find an answer! I don't know if this is a symptom or just me getting older. Your advice and opinions would be gratefully received....

I've always had times when brain fog descends however in the last twelve months I have become so forgetful. I can remember what I ate on holiday 10 years ago but forget I've put an egg on to boil until it explodes 30 minutes later. (Countless tellings off for leaving the hob ring on for hours on end too) I lose my words… read more

I always say my brain went on vacation without me, and ask people to search for it because it doesn't have GPS to find its way home.

I am 32 and have been having brain fog as well. I heard it's a symptom of PCOS.

Totally have this problem but I think it has to do with anxiety and difficulty attending.

It must be a symptom of PCOS because I have this too and I've always been able to remember things.

I also don't have an answer, but I have been feeling the same way. I'm 25. The worst was I forgot that I had taken my dose of metformin and i double dosed. It didn't hurt me, but I didn't realize I had done it until I felt extremely nauseous the next day and was talking to my husband about it... It's definitely hard for me to focus too, which is not helpful with work at all.
