Good Morning Everyone!!  I want to inform all of you that I am losing my short term memory right now.  It is true because I have an appointment to consult with a Neurologist that deals with brain Atrophy.  This is when the brain shrinks to a smaller size.  It is affecting my memory. I also noticed that I have lapses in memory.  I am having periods when I forget what I am doing.  Maybe the increase in Aptiom might be the issue.  I am taking 600mg of Aptiom, which is a medicine that is used to treat seizures.  I will admit that I have been hearing voices for 13 years now.  These voices are using vulgarity right now.  I suppose that what I am hearing has a lot to do with my stroke from 2008.
