I take 100mg Gabapentin, which is generic neuron ton 3X/day - I don't know if it does anything at all.

Re: [TMIC] am i getting worse?
Yesterday I wanted to scan a picture that was in a collage-type frame on the wall, so I took the frame down and left it on the table while I took the picture out and scanned it. I got to doing other things and didn't get the picture back in and frame up. Later in the day I came downstairs and noticed the blank space on the wall, and thought, "What? What is supposed to be there? What's missing?" I felt so silly for not remembering I had taken the frame down earlier in the day. Brain foghappens. I don't know why. I agree with whoever said it gets worse if you fret about it. I've had days when my balance is worse, too, to the point where I am not too sure about doing what I normally do. I hope there is some encouragement in knowing that many of us experience the same things, even if we don't know why. :-) Barbara H. http://barbarah.wordpress.com/ In a message dated 9/6/2006 9:24:59 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: well, I notice my balance is a little more off balance lately..more so than usual..I know I could get *tipsy* now and again, but especially in the mornings now I am way off balance and sometimes after a longer day I find myself falling into things more...also, my memory is really geting bad now..mostly my short term and its really starting to bother me.

Krissy You are telling yourself that you need to do more when it sounds like you should be doing less. I don't know how you keep up with your children and keep up your home - you sound like super woman. Please slow down for a few days and see if your balance and memory improve. Please!

Re: [TMIC] am i getting worse?
When I was on nuerontin, I had major short term memory problems. When I went off it, my memory problems went away. Although, when I am in more pain and tired, I do have some memory problems.

Re: [TMIC] am i getting worse?
Love the saying Gilly. Suits me to a T. If only I can remember it now. Memory loss seems to come hand and hand with TM for me. However, it hit me when I had just turned 58 (3 yrs ago yesterday TM found me). Regardless of TM I had noticed that at work I was starting to forget things even prior to TM. I wonder if it is TM, age, medications etc. Not much I can do about it though so just 'go with the flow'. Frustrating as it may be. Heather in lovely Calgary.

I tried Neurontin in the very early stages, for about 3 days. The effect of it was worse than the pain! It certainly made my life foggy. The only medication I have now for tm is Zoloft. Still on 50mg a day, just seems to keep life smooth. I had about 18 months before I would take that though and my memory was just as bad. I have days where it's OK and I can achieve heaps, on other days, well, heaven knows! I was once in a speech therapy session with a friend of mine who had had a stroke and had lost her speech. I noticed on the wall behind the therapist, a little sign. it read What I miss the most is my mind.
