Increased forgetfulness and Memory issues/ Mental health or other?

I have reached out to my doctors office, and have been waiting for them to get back to me, but if I dont hear from them by today Im going to go to the ER because it is really bothing me. I just would hate to go in and find out its nothing...i have had that happen a lot over the past 12 years with my GI stuff, its just so frustrating to feel like your conserns are not being taken seriously.

@firewolfpup17 Regardless of the cause of these symptoms, it is not nothing. It's good you are seeking medical attention. It's important to rule out more serious afflictions. Only then can you and your providers begin to treat and manage these symptoms.
Will you let us know what happens after you go in tomorrow?

I know it's hard when you are hurting, but getting help is of utmost importance. If your doctor can't help or this is not his field, ask him for a referral to a doctor who can -- Neurology maybe. Also since doctors always seem to be in a hurry, I make a list of every symptom I'm having and take to the appt. It helps me not forget anything and it actually helps the doctor focus on what's going on and then I leave a copy for my file. Hope this helps. God bless you!
