Gina, I am going to try to answer the questions the best I can. I am not a PWP, but I am 55 years old, and I have forgotten a lot of things I wish I could remember. I was once able to sight read music, ok, it may have been over 40 years ago, but I wish that it would come back without studying all over. I forget to do things I should, because I try to do too many things, I make post it notes, stick them on my computer, and if they fall off...too bad! When under stress I forget a lot of things, that I would never forget, if I were relaxed. Between your actual symptoms, and your FEARS, you are probably making the symptoms worse than they need to be. If you could simplify your life, in any way, you'd probably feel better. If Tai Chai (sp?) helps you relax, it maybe be the answer. Remember that just because you fear something, does not make it happen. Sometimes just taking a deep breath, when everything seems totally messed up, and saying to yourself "THIS TOO, SHALL PASS." actually WORKS! Also, ty to substitute movies for regular TV shows, you'll feel better, I promise :-))) KenB
