Hello @dougjanehaltom and @mjpg2013

Nervousness and anxiety can certainly interfere with the functioning of our body. Any disease or disorder that we have can be complicated by anxiety. It sounds like you have both experienced this very thing.

Are your memory problems related to word recall (not being able to get the right word when you need it), forgetting names of relatives/friends, or is it a problem of getting lost when you are driving to well-known locations, etc.?

If you have any concerns about memory problems it is a good idea to talk with your family physician to see if a workup needs to be done to check for other problems that might be causing memory issues.

My problem is all of the above. I can't recall names I know very well, I lose my train of thought and I get very nervous.

Hi, Theresa. The second paragraph in your reply is me. This has been really bad for the last six months,maybe longer. I lose train of thought in mid sentence. I at one point couldn't pronounce, words I've used for years. That for the most part has stopped,but I'm still struggling with my memory of words.
