Recently got diagnosed after 27 long years! Does anyone else ever feel like they struggle to remember things short term but can recall basically useless info from god knows how long ago purely because it was interesting at one point? does that make sense and how do people cope with new information and being able to be better at remembering or retaining? Thanks

Oh yes.
If something doesn't interest me there is little chance it will stay in my memory for long. This used to annoy my ex wife terribly, but after the diagnosis it made more sense.
If it is important, write it down or take a photo on your phone for anything complex - that has saved me on many occasions.
