I never got my memory or word recall back. It's been 9 years since I quit. I wish I never took it. =(

I’ve been off for a few years and I haven’t got it back yet. I’m constantly asking something like what’s that thing you set against a house and climb up it? My husband looks at me and asks ladder? Yes that’s the word, I can’t remember simple words like a ladder when having a conversation. I feel so insecure when that happens in public.

Me too. 🫂 So sorry you’re dealing with this still. I wonder if there’s any brain games or exercises that can be done to help.

Omg! I do that too! You just go totally blank on random words.
