4. My memory has become swiss cheese.
Ever since I started needing to take heavy medications, I can't remember shit. Seriously.

I can't remember phone numbers. I can't remember the names of people I've known for years unless I am with them in exactly the right context to trigger the memory of who they are. If I meet them in a different place, I'm clueless, fumbling for a name. I memory of historical stuff used to be sharp, but gets foggier all the time, with bits and pieces disappearing all the time.

And my short term memory is the worst. I can't remember what I did 20 minutes ago to save my life. I have to announce to my roommate when I'm taking my meds, and then ask her when I last took a med, because I'll be damned if I can remember.

She has become my memory for me. I don't know what I'd do without her help. :(
