Momnesia

[John M. Spartz]

I ran across this term today -- Momnesia (1430 Google hits)

Today's USA Today article
(http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-03-03-momnesia_N.htm?csp=34) defines
momnesia as the mental fuzziness and memory lapses that set in shortly after
childbirth.

Thought it was interesting. Anyone know of other "nesias"?
