~USA Today and Memory Loss

[Guest guest]

o~HI~o Terry,

First, I don't get the USA Today but I'd really love to read that article. Do

you think, if it isn't too much trouble you could send it to me? You could

send it private email? I am really interested to see that. I would truly

appreciate! As I was diagnosed at 13 with JRA.

NOW! Boy that hit home!!! This happens to me ALL the time. So much so that I

am really bothered by it. I get scared that I am getting Alzheimer's or

something. I have talked to my boyfriend about how I do this all the time,

and how it happens more often lately. It scares me. But I have to guess that

it's an FMS side effect??

Like you, I will be talking about something to someone, and FLASH, it's gone!

I feel so stupid and depending on who I am talking to, embarrassed!
