You need to "STOP IT"!!!!. I learnt photoreading at the ripe age of 46, and that was two years ago. I myself was a slow reader. You don't have a bad memory, at our age, our life is more complex. With many decisions, things to do, your mind is an andy 500 race track. You don't have a bad memory, just a zillion of things going on upstairs 
You know what I'm sayin? Once you learn how to relax, and I mean relax, things will fall into place for you. Something else you need to consider and that is to start practicing a mental discipline to help you to maintain center, focus, and calm.
