How can I help improve my husband's memory?

I suggest you find a basket nearby his bedside. Remind him everyday to make sure he puts his stuff in that basket, he will remember it. When he wake up, he will see it right away. Charge his cell phone nearby the basket or in the basket.

Dear Cava,

I understand your situation. Can I suggest a supplement called phosphatidy serine? It is usually found in health food stores and I have found it also sold on the web. It does not require a prescription.

May I also suggest this? I do not know if you have a Bible but you can get one from the Public Library. I recommend the King James Version. Before you and your husband go to sleep at night, read to him some of the Bible--it does not matter where you read or start to read. You might like to start in the Gospel of John or 1 Samuel. I might recommend Psalms chpt 142-150 because they are so pleasant to hear.

I hope this will help you and your husband.

Ginkgo Biloba promotes healthy circulation to the brain to ensure a healthy supply of oxygen and nutrients. It also has antioxidant properties that protect brain cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. These unique traits make Ginkgo Biloba the #1 herb for a sharp memory and a healthy, active mind.

Help him by, having a certain place to put his things. If you have a small table or shelf in the entry way, that might be a good place. You could fix a drawer in the kitchen or living room and until he gets the idea, remind him to put his things is that particular drawer.

This is a universal problem from married women Comedian Roseanne Barr/Arnold/What ever she is calling herself now did an entire bit about it...

As for me I purchased a Men's Standing Valet for my husband... When he loses something and says "Do you know where my ______ is" I reply "Did you put in in your valet?" to which he replys "Yes." To which I reply "Then it should be easy to find, go look"

When he loses them I quote Slim (Lauren Bacall) fromthe Movie To Have and Have Not (1944)

Slim: You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and........ blow.

I do replace Steve with my husbands name...

My husband learned pretty quickly to put his stuff in the same spot everytime and stop asking me to look for it...

Sweetie, if that can be done, I'm willing to bet that you could make lots of money selling that solution. lol

No, seriously, the only thing I can think of is to start leaving him notes (those post-it note pads work) everywhere, in the bathroom, on his side of the bed, in the pockets of his clothes, etc. But, now you've got to remember, he is of the male species.

Maybe he needs to see the doctor,he could be lacking something in a vitamin or something.

Potassium! tell him to relax pressure makes you forget things.

I dont know how old he is. But maybe it is something medical (alzheimer's or dementia). Maybe his doctor could help

i would say try using viagra and some vitams C to keep his mind working...lol
