I offer myself to the Reverse Remix Comment-a-Thon if you've ever wanted me to write a version of something you wrote, now is the chance!

I'm settling into an idea I don't hate for not_primetime, though I'm not sure it's what my recipient wants. Course, I can't really make myself write the stuff they really want. Blerg. Sent in nominations for shipswap (at LJ) and I encourage you to, also. Not entirely sure if I'm going to sign up (oh, who am I kidding?) but there are some nice lady pairings.

I'm having a lot of trouble with memory and focusing lately. I could google a solution, but I trust you all and your experiences more. Are there good foods or vitamins to partake in that help deal with this sort of thing? Not sure how much longer I can deal with walking around with no idea why I got up, or completely forgetting that I'm supposed to be working on ONE thing when my brain has switched to the other. Makes me feel half-asleep.

Being low on concentration and memory could be a couple of things, but the most likely is shortage of vitamin B6 and B12. A supplement can help (but turns your pee neon yellow!), or increasing dairy, fish and red meat, if that's suitable for you.

Another possibility is circulation problems - if you also get very cold fingers and toes, and chilblains, a ginkgo supplement might help, as it improves bloodflow to small and peripheral veins, such as in the toes, fingers and brain. It can also help tinnitus.

Thank you! That's very helpful. Sounds like a supplement will help, as dairy makes me sick and I don't get much chance to eat fish or red meat.

I'll be sure and let you know what happens!

I used to take this supplement for memory help, and I remember that I was good at remembering things while I was taking it, but now I'm not and I can't remember what it's called.

So.

I laughed quite hard at this.
