Subject: Anyone have any memory problems?

I have found that I am experiencing some difficulty in remembering things over the last few months, such as appointments etc, also I can be talking away and all of a sudden stop and feel like I am having to dig deep into my brain for the next word I want to say, feeling that I know it but can't find it, the phrase on the tip of my tongue comes to mind, just hope I'm not going loopy as well as having RA. Anyone else experiencing this? Does worry me a bit:(

yes have had this quite a bit recently. I put it down to some of the drugs i have been on but the rhumy nurse said this could also be down to trying to deal with so much pain

So think that is common but once on meds that suit and in less pain I hope this goes away a bit.

I feel so stupid sometimes. I am a manager and did say to the nurse if this is long term then can't continue with work. she assured me to hang in there! starting enbrel soon so fingers crossed. Hope this eases your mind a bit

The more you stress the more this will happen. I have been assured that pain can make this happen. Also the pain meds don't help. So it seems we are all going loopy together. LOL.

Me too, was hoping that it was the pain killers and not the ra. Was getting very worried about it. People's names seem to be at the top of the list. Marlene very glad to hear that about pain affecting the memory that would make sense for me as it has been really noticeable in past few months.
