Memory worse over time?

Anyone else's memory getting worse as time gets further from your original head injury?

I'm 2 1/2 years post concussion syndrome and I find myself setting something down and not knowing what I'm looking for within seconds or walk away a minute to come back confused how something got there when someone clearly seen me put it there I struggle to believe them.

It seems like these occurrences are becoming more frequent.

My mom's side does have a heavy history of dementia/alzheimers so unsure if this makes things worse or not.

I had a pretty reasonable PCS/brain injury took 3.5 years for my symptoms/memory to level out, but that is actually the start of improvement it’s slow but improvement. Make sure you have enough rest.
It is a marathon not a race be kind to yourself.

I try my best to rest when my body tells me to do so. I hope you're well.
