That's a very interesting topic. But this field is still new to me. It will be grateful if you give me some
more information about it. Thanks in advance.

I have those issues but my doctor also just diagnosed me with adult ADD.

I too have had an issue with short term memory. I also seem to have a real disconnect when I am talking, almost as if I know the word I am looking for and I know the meaning but I cannot remember what it is. It happens to me mid-sentence ALL OF THE TIME. It is really frustrating because I used to have a really sharp photographic memory but now I wouldnt be surprised if I left the house without pants! I used to take topomax for migraines and I wondered if it was related b/c one of the side effects was a "disconnect of thought", I had asked at the time if it was just while taking the meds...wanted to make sure it wasnt permanent of course I was told the symptoms would subside after discontinuing but they never did.

Wait...what we talking about again? J/k
