Fog. Forgetfulness

Dear all,

I wonder if any one is going through the same symptoms as I or had the same problems.

I had surgery 6 months ago. It was followed by a string of complications and I spent a month and a half in hospital. There was a tiny hole where the suture was and they inserted gastric sponges to constrict the oesophagus. I had 3 sponges in total, which means 3 additional full anaesthesia.

I am now forgetting a lot of things. I'm very forgetful and misunderstand things too. It takes a lot of energy to concentrate. I'm terrified because my father had Alzheimer's and I saw what it did to him.

This has affected my work. Some of my friends do not understand fully what I'm going through and that makes things more difficult.

I would like to know if any of you have had to deal with terrible brain fog and terrifying forgetfulness.

Thank you

HI My partner is the same, he forgets everything and he cant concentrate at all. This all started after his chemo and all treatment had ended. Sometimes I could ask him to do something 3 or 4 times and constantly have to remind him of appointments etc.

Thank you for sharing this with me.

I hope we get better in the end, because this is quite scary

Take care

Hi Seasurf. How rotten for you. I can’t relate to your symptoms to my post recovery, but I do know that my memory becomes muddled or I become confused when I am anxious. Bearing in mind you have the pressure of work and your colleagues plus the knowledge of your Father all makes for a stressful state of mind. Maybe you should contact your GP to be on the safe side. Hope things improve. Take care, Julie
