Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I believe short term memory is involed here and also matabolism may play a role. probably other chemistry involvement. maybe,dopamine,saratonin,ect.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 the short term memory problem seems to me to mostly be because of, or go hand and hand with distraction. the tiniest little distract and wam, that thought just is gone. sometimes even when I repeat something over and over again to attemp not to lose the thought, I still lose it. but to me thats still a distraction problem. yes a split second of my mind wondering, which can even mean just looking at something and that thought might just disappear or parts of the thought. grr, it gets aggervating. than on top of that my recall is very slow, sometimes it happen hours or next day. sometimes it just doesn't happen period. even when someone looks at me and asks a question, just the distraction of looking back at them, watching their lips move, or something like that can distract me. yes, distraction is a big hinder for me. setting here alone and doing something is one thing and attn. with distractions is another thing. even setting here a noise can distract me and I forget what I was doing if theres not something right in my face to remind me. and I put a note right on my computer to trim posts but I forget to look at the note so it does me basicly no good. I can take write a list to take to the store but even if I somehow remember to put it in my purse, that doesn't mean I well remember that it's in my purse whin I get to the store. if it put it right there where I well see it, if I look at my purse, I'll remember, if I dont look at my purse for any other reason, I'm not going to see the list and remember I have it. this is not related to exposure effects,or brain fog, it's a permenant disorder. > > I believe short term memory is involed here and also matabolism may play a role. probably other chemistry involvement. maybe,dopamine,saratonin,ect.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes, he is like this. Organizing things while in sleep and waking to the organization thoughts. His brain no longer goes into REM sleep determined by tests.

I'd have to go back and do some reading , but it's got something to do with the stages of sleep and brain chemistry functions in the brain that change when asleep and awake. if I spent some time on this, I think I get a clue or a answer, chemistry wise what may be inhibiting my organization skills when awake and why. it make me wish I could stay in that stage of wakeing a little longer to say hi to a old friend that I miss very much, a ability that I strugle with during wakeing hours. in other words I know more than my fully awake brain is letting me see. it's all about brain chemistry. whats interesting is that I may still have this skill but through brain chemistry during wakeing hours, it's lost. I do also have sleep apnea. there is info. out there that brain chemistry disorders are linked to sleep apnea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Is he one some sort of medicine. Some medicines may suppress REM. Also people who are severely depressed don't have REM sleep frequently. Depends on their reaction to depression. If they sleep alot, they have excessive REM; if they have trouble sleeping, it's usually due waking up at the beginning of REM and therefore not having it. > > Yes, he is like this.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 yes, I dont think I make it into REM STAGE either. maybe some times. every once in a great while I might dream but it's like either fragmented or I just dont remember much of it. > > This happened to him right after the mold exposure.
