My short term memory is fading quickly with my attention span. I try and try to remember things but it just doesn't stick. I've been told there are exercises you can do to help this and I should do it instead of complaining but being unable to focus makes me wonder if they will even work. Stinks :(

A lady I met with epilepsy last year told me this was happening to her, I didn't expect it to progress to quickly I hope yours get better and you find a way to combat it
