Baby Boomers Are You Having Minor Memory Lapes

Baby Boomer Health: Are You Having Minor Memory Lapses? Could this be the sign of CRS Syndrome?

So you won’t be confused, CRS means “Can’t Remember Stuff” Syndrome.

I blame mine on a car accident, when my head when through a window. But, sooner or later, it happens to everyone. I remember when it happened to my Mother.

Sometime in our middle to late 40′s, Baby Boomers succumb to the dreaded CRS (Can’t Remember Stuff) Syndrome.

The condition is unavoidable, permanent and some say irreversible.

You might ask, “Where are my keys” or “Where did I park my car,” at the mall…Somewhere deep in your brain, a lonely neuron flickers and dies.

Is this the beginning of Alzheimer’s or senility? Do you wonder where that information went in the gooey gray grooves of your brain? OYE!

Here is what I did and still do…once I developed CRS Syndrome…I started scribbling endless notes to myself that state the blatantly obvious. But if you don’t put these things down in writing, there’s no way you can remember them.

If you’ve got the dreaded CRS Syndrome, you must record every day info and vital information before it mysteriously evaporates from your brain, into na-na land. I have endless pieces of paper floating around and countless notebooks filled with important facts, my cell phone number, my mothers birthday, My BF’s daughters name. You might forget your children’s names, address, when your doctors appointment is, or where you put your favorite lipstick…CRS comes in many forms. You will and can go blank at any time.

Perhaps you will have to make a couple of notebook full of that forgettable stuff…because take it from me, you are going to lose that notebook…place it somewhere you can not find it.

If you’ve got CRS syndrome, you’ll spend much of your free time searching for missing items, especially eyeglasses. The last time I lost mine I found them on top of my head.

Yes, Baby Boomers, Mother Nature is quite cruel.

Why do you think that people put stings and beaded work around their reading glasses…because they can never find them and it does not matter if you have 12 pair…you will never be able to find them when you need them…only to find them all out in your car, under the drivers seat.

Although some state that the is no such thing as CRS Syndrome, that it does not exists, those are the Baby Boomers that are still in denial or have not hit that point in their life yet.

Here is the good part, I am sure that the reason that we forget stiff or have CRS Syndrome is because at our age and world of information, we are simply on “OVER LOAD.” It is not age related deterioration of our gooey gray grooved matter. It’s more likely due to the fact that our brains are simply overloaded.

Having a gazillion mega bytes of information hurled at you on a daily basis by family, friends, children, televisions, books, radios, school, computers, work, billboards and other people, can just be too much for the average human brain.

Face it, we can just become over loaded. The vastness of everything can simply overwhelm our poor neurons every now and then and we burn out.

Remember when we were children and our brains remembered everything and all we had to remember were what we learned in school, our friends and families and maybe our dog and cats name?

Now we’re expected to remember everyone in our lives, their names, their husband or wives names, those we work with, the neighbors and their kids, their friends, the neighbors cat and dog names, everyone at the PTA, the librarian, all 21 grand kids, the 12 great grand kids and so much more…

Back in the old days, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, people didn’t waste their time memorizing all kinds of endless, useless info or randomly chosen numbers, like home phones, cell phones, log in passwords, names and numbers, bank numbers, house notes, your dog tags, everyone in your families social security number, their birthdays, your license plates on all three cars and when that insurance is due…but now, there seems to be no way to avoid it.

The 21st century requires you to be ready and able to give dozens of personal identification numbers and passwords. My head is spinning just thinking about it all.

It’s no wonder that most of us develop CRS Syndrome by the time we are grow ups. Even though it is very irritating and very frustrating to forget these things, it is not a sign of impending senility, alzheimer’s or senility.

Forgetting where you left your favorite shoes is not a big cause for alarm, forgetting where your dog is when you were walking it…or where your house is, on the other hand, might be a more serious issue.

Although some memory functions tend to deteriorate slightly or slow down a tag with age, there are more signs of intelligence like verbal ability. That actually gets better as we grow older. No one 12 year old has ever won over a Baby Boomer on Jeopardy.

Though Baby Boomers may not be able to remember stuff as well as we used to, we can still out talk out counterparts with bits of knowledge that younger folks just do not have the time in life and experiences, that we do.

So, Baby Boomers, if some one asks, “Are You Having Minor Memory Lapses?” Just laugh at them and give them an eloquent speech and knock them off the feet with it. Remember, there will be days when we have really good days and no one will notice that we have developed CRS Syndrome. Write that down in your important things to remember book.
