Memory problems

[singergal64]

Hi There Everyone!!!
Does anyone out there have issues with their memory? Can MG effect this?
I sure do at times and it's kind of scary. I've been on this journey now for five years. Could the meds do this? Immuron, Mestinon, IVIG is what I am taking.

Thanks a million!!!

Uh, yeah. I have memory problems. I'm on Mestinon and Topamax for Migraines. Some of my memory problems can be attributed to the Topamax. But, even when I got OFF of the Topamax for about 6 months, I STILL had some memory problems. There ARE studies that say that MG can cause Cognitive Deficits. Other studies say that it does not.

Having and maintaining a sufficient quantity and balance of the neurotransmitters Acetylcholine, GABA, Dopamine and Serotonin is important to proper memory function. Common factors like diet, stress and age have a big effect on neurotransmitters. In addition, various meds/drugs can wreak havoc with neurotransmitters by interfering with them in various ways...
