Can you provide me with more information about your physical constitution. Are you thin? do you feel cold in your extremities? Is your skin dry? do you have a good steady stamina, or are you more of a "burst" kind of guy?
As for memory, I remember a part of an important neuroscience book where it was mentioned that memories are stored very well, but other neuronal activities may overlap and thus suppress your ability to recall. In my limited view you can go with memories in two ways; either reinforce more connections so that the chance of recall is higher, or you suppress memories that deplete/disrupt your ability to recall. If I were you then I would stay away from memory enhancers unless you can create an environment that will allow you to focus on a particular subject alone. You are likely to be a creative person, so perhaps you can find a unique way that works for you.
PS: My above opinions include facts along with personal speculations.
thanks for reading and replying.
i've been obese most of my adulthood (genetic, runs in my family), but only mildly overweight as child and adolescent. now, i actually lost a lot of weight and i do not see correlation between weight and memory. at least i'm not malnourished for sure.
no cold in extremities, but sometimes i feel parasthesia in my hands, especially on a long car trip (maybe i'm holding the wheel too hard?). no dry skin. actually i used to sweat a lot, it's less bad with aging and weight loss.
no stamina, i get very tired and sleepy while exercising, it was even true when young and fit. i've been near comatose a few times after running at a school competition a few times.
i'm known to have low testosterone as adult (and probably adolescent too, but no proof) and currently (self) treated for that. it helped me to function better overall, not nowhere near the top of my capabilities.
you are right, it could be a recall issue, and i did find a few times my memories got corrupted and i remembered it wrong. it's almost like a hard drive that starts to malfunction and still works but creates lost files and errors from time to time. like i said, it's a life long thing. i'm not necessarily looking for solutions at this point (i'm reasonably adjusted) and there may be none, but i'm curious nevertheless if anyone else has that and what's causing it.
it would be cool if i could participate in some kind of memory study. i may need to search for that.
