I would like to share with you some problems i have the late years with memory lapses and speech disorder.

When i talk,if i am distracted for 1 second i may forgot what i was going to say.Or i start walking to pick up a tool from tool box to fix something and when i reach the area close to tools i forget what i need.It takes some seconds to remember the correct tool or i have to be concentrated from the begining to what i want until i get to the tool box.

Also i forget names that people tell me very easy or remember their names misspelled or i try hard to find the right word for something i want to say but i know the word.

One thing that is the most annoying for me is that when i speak i substitute some letters of a word for others.I would call it speech slip.I don't know the correct term.For example i want to say "have a nice day" and say "have a nice may".I think this happens more often when i think about 2 words of similar meaning and then when i pronounce the one i want to tell i end with a mix of them.Of course this happens more intense when i drink.The more i drink the worse symptoms,but i think this is normal for most people.

Do you think my problem is Acetylcholine related or anything else and what do you suggest to help?

I take fish oils for almost 6 months but don't notice anything positive in cognition or mood as advertised.I tried normal EPA/DHA ratio,then 7:1 EPA,now 5:1 DHA.Nothing yet.Also i have tried for a month 400mg of Swanson PS and got zero response,but i don't trust Swanson products,so i don't know if it was the brand or supplement fault.

I am thinking about Alpha GPC or CDP Choline.

Errrr....... sorry no it's gone

Seriously, go to see a doctor and probably also a speech pathologist first. Even if you fix it, you may just mask something more serious.

How long have you had these memory problems? How old are you? Do you have any dietary or digestive problems? Any history of health or mental diseases in your family history that you think may be relevant? Do you have a history of depression or anxiety? What do you think has negatively affected your memory?

Memory decline/deficit/impairments can be caused by a multitude of factors. I'd research this on Google. Is there any reason why you would think choline is the problem?

We need more relevant information in order to help you out.

I am 33 and have these many years.At least i remember i have noticed once at 2003.No family history of Alzheimer or anything related.Also i have done before a couple of years CT Scan of brain and is clear.I did this because i suffer from tension headaches the last 3 years that seem to be a result of stress.Whenever i get stressed my head explodes.The psychiatrist said i need to take SSRI but this is another issue.I never gone this route and try to pass it with supplements.

I refer to Choline because i read many reports and users that it is good for memory.Also i have done the Braverman test that gives me a medium deficit in Acetylchonline (10) and bigger deficit in Serotonin,Dopamine.

No dietary or digestive problems.My diet is very clean and i do weight train for years.

Google "conduction aphasia" and see if that ties up with your symptoms at all.

LOL :D

I have watched a video with an old lady and my condition is not even close...I hope will not be like this !!!

My problems are stable the last years and i communicate fine with everyone.Just some times i have this tiny moments of confused talking or memory lapses.Not so serious as a disease.I just feel i could be in better condition.

So what do you suggest?I have already purchased some CDP Choline.
