Hi! I'm new here. My name is Barb and I have face blindness. I didn't know it was a specific disorder until a few years ago. I'd thought it was just one more...
last night i ran into the new janitor in my apartment building. one needs an affable relationship with janitors, so i was careful to greet him and ask how...
My face blindness has gotten much better since I started taking a multimineral tablet and extra zinc. I don't know if that is really what has made the...
Hi Barb, I'm Dee. I have been a member here on and off for a couple years. I always knew I had somewhat of a problem (mom had it too) but I was convinced the...
Thanks Dee. I'm almost 49 and am showing the beginnings of the "change". I'd been wondering if it could be related as it certainly has gotten worse in the...
... *** Everything is worse under stress. I don't subscribe to menopause worsening face blindness. Stress worsens concentration; it takes concentration to...
Barb, You sound normal to me -- for a faceblind person! I have noticed a slight improvement since I started taking Lexapro, an antidepressant. It also helps...
... Hi Bonnie, sorry if I sounded as if I was saying specifically menapause caused faceblindness. That was not my intention. As Barb mentioned that she had...
I hope I gave Barb encouragement that although it may seem bad now there is hope it will get better. (Or at least it did for me) I am now back to my old ...
Barb, I am sorry to hear about how others are treating you. People get confused when dealing with me too because I do not seem to follow normal patterns of...
Yes indeedy, I put the salami in the freezer and the ice cream in the fridge. It's a small thing that happens as you get older. We call it CRS --Can't Remember...
Liz here. I have the same problem with making eye contact, responding correctly to facial expressions etc. I call it face dancing. It leads people to not...
I am old enough now to have an excuse, but in my twenties I would put the milk in the cupboard and the mail in the refrigerator. It's always a surprise to open...
We call it CRS --Can't Remember Sh-t! One thing that helps is not trying to multiprocess. And, exactly how do you not multiprocess: my son is on over a dozen...
In my case it was during menapause that any ability to multitask just left me totally. Not sure why, if stress or chemical imbalance but what ever it was I...
Thanks for all the replies. It's good to know I'm not alone in my "strangeness". I'm always hesitant to greet people I haven't seen in a long time because I'm...
... outgoing I'm ... Really, what you probably mean is "you're not sure if you remember them", but it can be so much more graceful to say it the other way ...
... *** Do you think our lack of face recognition skill has enabled us to develop other skills? What other skills do you suppose would balance a lack of face...
Barb, Not to belittle your admirable workload! You and I have to try to analyze (as you just did) the multiple "jobs" you are running in your head, and then...
Glenn; Thanks for your perspective on the supplement issue. It reminds me of a science fiction book I read a few years ago that was about a group of people...
... Possibly. This is, of course, one of many frequent suggestions which people are fond of inquiring about. I've mentioned elsewhere, though I don't think...
... I don't think such decisions can be made in the absence of an analysis of the costs, risks, and benefits of the treatment. For example, I think it would...
Anybody want to start a petition which says, in effect, that nobody can ever change their identifying characteristics? ;-) And they have to wear the same color...
If there were some kind of a pill that would allow me to read facial expressions and respond back to them normally, you darn well bet I would take it! No one...

If it was just a pill - so I could try it on for size and stop taking it if I had really negative side-effects - yes. I would definitely try it. My face...
