In reply to the discussion: I am losing my memory. [View all]syringis
(5,101 posts)174. Hello CTyankee
I'm new here and not very fluent in English.
I' sorry to hear what happens to you.
I suppose there is nothing much to do, unless reorganize the way you live and get as much help as you can.
I don't know if it can help you a little, but curcuma is known to be effective in memory problems.
It will probably not solve the problem, but maybe help a little?
I send you all my best toughts and wishes from Belgium.
