Help, I am back to school and my memory is not helping, why?!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi all,
I had some memory problem since a couple years ago, but never this bad.
I mean, when I was a teen I was able to study with TV on, while listen to music, what happen?!
Then I had my first one when I was 20 and I start loosing some memories but I think it was because I was very stressful because I was a single parent working a lot and very tired all the time.
3 years ago I went back to collage and I was doing great, it was not as easy like when I was a teen but I manage very even if English is not my first language and I was studding in English. Some how, and I think is because I am also very competitive I was able to have a 4.00
Well, I have another baby 2 years ago and I am back to school again.
Only that this time I can't remember anything, I understand what I am reading and I actually like Algebra per example but after I read a page, 5 minutes or less I can't remember anything!
Even when I am reading it I feel a little hard to concentrate, and I find my self having to go over and over the same sentece.
I am sad and worry, why is this happening? I am just 32, does this have happen to somebody else?
I am a little stress but not even close to what I use to be many years ago, I am a stay at home mom, my older is 12, my younger 2, my husband sopport me a lot, we don't have lots of money but we are doing just ok.
Do anybody can tell me if you know of something I can take to help me with my memory? We don't have insures so I can't afford to go to the doctor, so maybe something more natural or something I can buy at the farmacy?
Maybe just know that other people went through the same and the made it.
thanks for reading.

ginko biloba tincture, but it has to be standardized potency and state so on the bottle- not ginko pills. unless there is something physiologically going on you haven't identified, i believe that the experts are saying that the internet, constant tv, and texting are rewiring our brains. interruptions from kids have a bit of the same effect- i know i never get to have a full thought without an interruption. it's not just you, other folks are noticing the same effect from years of electronic and other multitasking- they can't remember peoples names or what they went into the next room to fetch because we are constantly bombarded by informantion and electronic. so maybe get rid of your tv and limit computer and phone/text time, and get some more exercise to let the endorphins help your brain. but know it's not just you!
