Wow, I regularly cannot find my car in lots but I also don't remember that this is a problem so I should take a photo with my phone of some landmark in the lot.

I hate to say it but I'm told that turning 50 plays a huge part in the mental acuity game. B12 is supposed to be extremely helpful--I usually forget to take it.

Also, with the decrease of estrogen production, so many elements fall apart. It's the whole menopause issue and why so many women have such a hard time.

I'm in perimenopause and my ob/gyn said--or was it the onc, can't remember--that the ovaries go into a sort of last-ditch overproduction of estrogen before the "end."

As you mentioned research, I, too would like to see some effort to help us return to our old selves. Maybe I'll reach out to the gang at Genentech/Hoffmann LaRoche--my wonderful sponsors--and see if they've got something in the works.

If I remember...
