A member asked:
My memory is very poor. i cannot remember new names, any math above basic multiplication, and my handwriting is illegible. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More information..: We would need to know what has happened in prior years. Is this something new or this has been ongoing? Is this getting worse? You would need to see your doctor( preferably a Neurologist) first and find out what could be a physical cause for this. If everything is fine you might need a psychological evaluation for any learning disabilities you might be presenting.
