(34,076 posts)I don't know whether it is better to recognize that you are losing your memory or not (my spouse's situation).
It sounds like you have good coping strategies. One suggestion that worked for my spouse for driving is a GPS system. She kept getting lost - usually because she remembered the old location of someplace. I bought a GPS system using the excuse that I wanted a new toy (since she was oblivious & would have refused any suggestion she needed it). But once it was in the car she quickly started using it. If you don't have one already, that might help.
She uses sticky notes all over the place - she still loses track of appointments, but having sticky notes on her steering wheel, her desk, the door into the garage, etc. seems to help.
Cirrhois can cause hepatic encephalopathy (a fancy word for liver-induced brain fog). If you have cirrhosis from your fatty liver you may be able to improve some. (My SIL had hepatic encephalopathy from cirrhosis due to Hep C, and is back to normal now by taking good care of her liver.)
Good luck!
