When I joined TMIC 3 years ago I begged for help with my memory problems. My memory is almost back to my pre TM days, but I still have the same lapses problems already described by others. My balance is better, afterall, I just bragged about riding a bicycle! This morning I bumped into the hallway wall and did the two steps forward, one step back schuffle on the way to the bathroom. I know why.... I wasn't concentrating on my trip down the hall, I was thinking about the laundry. Maybe my body thought it was the washing machine and was tumbling me around! I know that stress, fatigue, and lack of concentration cause memory lapses. I can't fake it. If the my body doesn't give me away, my mind will. I have slow down, sit down, stop pushing, and start resting.
