Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 <<"We RPer's not remember something....imagine that!">> Duh, I finally remembered something I've been wanting to ask ... is it the RP or the Prednisone that is causing this lapse in memory? Prior to RP I had such a great memory. But when I first started getting sick, I used to have my husband go to all my doctor appointments with me so I wouldn't forget what the last doctor I'd seen said. He was my memory. When I was finally able to start reducing my Pred and got to 7.5 mg per day, I really thought my short-term memory was improving. But now I'm getting a little paranoid about it. Thoughts/comments?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 , I have trouble remembering also. I don't think its the pred. because mine started before they put me on it. I lean toward RP. just my input.

LOL I know that's hard to believe!. I would have to put post a notes in my car to remind me where I was going. I still have days worse than others, but don't think I'll ever get my old memory back. I too have to have someone with me when I do go the dr. or either take my trusty tape recorder. LOL So, I can't really give an answer regarding memory and RP. Mine started way before I had it. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
