Re: Short Term/Long Term Menory and Sarcoid

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

I too suffer from poor short term memory. Since I am an RN, I can't imagine what

kind of harm I would do if I went back to work like this. I had to withdraw from

school too- I was studying for my master's in nursing but wasn't able to handle

the coursework due to memory problems (I graduated college before with a 3.95

gpa). The whole situation depresses me. I hope that they can get my meds under

control- we have tried several combos that all have nasty side effects and yet

do not seem to slow the progression. I have the sarc now in several sites-

lungs, lymph nodes, neuro, joints, and heart. If anyone has any suggestions to

help with the short term memory loss I would be willing to try almost anything!

I will keep you all in my prayers!

Dawn from NY

where as my short term memory is Swiss cheese. I am going to try to go back to

work at the end of the month, but sort of not sure how my boss and co workers

will look at me. I know I am not the same as before. How does one deal with

that.

Jackie! Tahnk you for your gung-ho spirit! I loved the senior dress code jokes

and I love that you don't let others tell you what you can and cannot do! After

I got out of spinal rehab hospital, I was told I would never be able to live

alone again! HAH! I am walking again, I don't have to use modified silverware

anymore, and I LIVE TOTALLY INDEPENDENTLY!...ok, well I have pets :-) dogs and

cats!

Keep the faith!

Your friend,
