I'd second that, lots of potential causes, and knowing for sure if it's something fixable or just getting old makes a difference.
I have ADD, and if there's one thing I'm an expert on it's losing stuff. I've lost multiple pens in under an hour without leaving my chair. I KNOW it can't be more than arms reach away, but it's just gone.
As I've gotten older, so many small details just vanish, I used to be able to pick a card out of a box full of random stuff after years, and tell where I got it and usually about how much I paid. Now there are more things I find and ask "When the heck did I get that, and (often) why?"
