Hi Ayers
the memory thing bothered me for a long time, but it's back to normal now.
It took years rather than months for me - but I did have some mini strokes.
The important thing is it came back. I believe you'll get there too
I find tho that as I get older I lose my memory for things like names - it will eventually come to me, but it might take a while.
I also have the coming into a room thing and not knowing what I m doing there. Since I stopped working 9-5 I often find it hard to remember instantly what day it is.
I think all that is completely normal aging stuff for most of us. Its annoying but not upsetting.
the pins and needles numb legs etc is something I've had most for my life so I can't really offer experience there.
I don't think you'll be Robinson Crusoe there either though.
Do see a Dr by all means but I'll be surprised if you don't get a good bill of health
