Treat Memory Loss and Forget About It... Post 1.

The Lowdown on Memory Loss

Forgetting familiar people and things can be a painful and baffling aspect of old age. Memory loss will probably affect all of us, sooner or later as we grow older. There comes a time in all of our lives when our recollection of people and events may seem to be just slipping away.

It is a helpless feeling, trying to hold on to familiar names, faces, people and places. Suddenly you forget the name of the man who has been serving you coffee at the neighborhood coffee shop for decades. You forget where you keep your glasses and find it impossible to recall phone numbers of good friends you have known.

This is a symptom of the normal aging process but the question remains: is memory loss treatable? Is there a way to figuratively “turn back the clock” and reclaim what has been lost? Can we go back to remembering small things like names of people, faces, places and important appointments? We will explore these questions in our next post.
