    But im in peri-menopause just now and ive found since starting that my short term memory is sometimes shocking..like sheena i can go from one room to the other to do something then when i get there i stand and think 'what the heck did i come in here for' lol. I just thought maybe it might be that causing you problems as i know your menopausal too. These are some of the symptom...the joy of being a woman

    Sore joints/muscles - muscle weakness and fatigue
    Hot/cold flashes - nightsweats
    Memory loss/forgetfullness
    Rapid heartbeat
    Irratability/moodswings/tearfullness/depression
    Insomnia
    Anxiety/feelings of dread and doom
    Difficulty concentrating/dissorientation
    Bloating
    Headaches
    increase in allergies
    Hair thinning
    Electric shock sensations under the skin
    Gum problems/burning tongue
    Weightgain
    etc..
    Yes I can identify with a lot of those symptoms and that was before I started the citalopram. I went on the menopause at 34 first time and I noticed my hair thinning and memory going straight away. The doctor gave me some HRT but I didn't feel right on them so I stopped taking them and everything went back to normal for a while and I even had another baby.

    Here are some nemory tricks i use to improve memory1. ACRONYMS. You form acronyms by using each first letter from a group of words to form a new word. 2. SENTENCES/ACROSTICS. Like acronyms, you use the first letter of each word you are trying to remember.3. RHYMES & SONGS. Rhythm, repetition, melody, and rhyme can all aid memory. 4. METHOD OF LOCI. This technique was used by ancient orators to remember speeches, and it combines the use of organization, visual memory, and association. Before using the technique, you must identify a common path that you walk. 5. CHUNKING. This is a technique generally used when remembering numbers, although the idea can be used for remembering other things as well. 6. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (or closer to it anyway): Okay, it may not be a mnemonic, but repeating is still a great memory aid. taken from here

    MART/JT69 - Just nearly wet myself.

    that reminded me of a joke that my partner told me at xmas time - he came in from town and told me there was an alzheimers society protest/march on in the city centre - he said they were shouting "what do we want - we don't know - when do we want it - want what?"
