Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 hey all, i was just wondering about the connection between memory problems and having implants, especially in light of my mother-in'law's recent diagnosis of alzheimer's disease just a few days after my surgery.i've had memory problems like what she's having so i worry that later on it may predispose me to dementia.for instance,the other day my in-laws were over for dinner and i was making bisuits and put them in the oven, which i forgot to turn on. when i discovered after about 15 minutes that i hadn't turned it on, i did so but instead of putting it on 350 degrees like i meant to i set the temperature to warm and found out 10 or so minutes later what i had done. i know that stress and fatigue can contribute to being forgetful but these aren't just occasional occurences. they happen at least several times a week and even daily.if the implants can cause this to happen, does it ever clear up, improve or am i permanently stuck with half a brain? concentrating and just learning in general seems to be more of a chore than it used to be.unlike people with alzheimer's though, i am aware that i'm forgetful and can eventually recognize when i forgot something and even recall it later. however, it still concerns me. of all the ways for life to end, that would be one of the least desirable to me or most people i think because you simply don't have any control over your thoughts or eventually even your body.i guess the only comfort is that people affected by it aren't even aware that anything is wrong at some point until the end.is there any evidence that the effects of implants can lead to alzheimer's disease or related disorders other than simple memory problems?
