I have seen my memory -- mostly short-term, but some long-term as well -- decrease dramatically over the years, and I'm too young for Alzheimer's, I'm only 37. I just started a new job and am having so much difficulty remembering what I've been taught. It's scaring me to death!! I'm no dummy, but this candida has made me feel like I'm losing all my brain power, like my brain is just turning to mush. When the candida gets somewhat under control and after the die-off goes away is the only time I feel a little more on top of things. By the way, each time the candida re-emerges, the memory gets worse than the last bout.
