I have a terrible memory. Someone could ask me to go and do something, I'll stand up to do it but in that time I will have forgotten what I was going to do. It's embarrassing really. Don't ask me to remember anyone's face. It's ridiculous how bad that is. I didn't recognise my own son once. :((
I didn't used to have but it seems to be failing me now. I am now reduced to wring down the name of my nephews and nieces partners ( and their dogs ! )
I am 63 this weekend and I am a bit bothered that I might be having the start of dementia problems, and thats the truth !
I keep shouting at myself because of this, yet there was a place I used to del to in South Norwood London that was a real pig to find, that was 30+ years ago, I could go there today, I'm glad I'm not alone.
Mikey from what I've read on AB a number of posters think you're suffering already but I know how you feel I write notes and then forget where I've put them that's if I can remember writing them

I have the same problems, I can be doing something stop for a second (go to loo etc) and I'll start doing something else. I also can't remember what folk look like I once walked past my girlfriend (at the time) smiled at her cause she looked pretty, it was my mate that had to tell me it was her
If you are worried, Mikey, make your way to the quack and they can arrange tests - far better as to the drugs now to nail it as quickly as possible and slow it down - though memory loss is an ageing thing. Can you remember what you did two days ago and say a week ago....?
Well...I forgot I was suppose to be working today until my boss just turned up. Whats bad about that is my boss was here for dinner yesterday!
It's not as bad as it sounds though as I don't have set hours. I sent him away and told him to come back in half an hour. I'm washed and dressed it's just that my son is in the bathroom and as he's lost his door key...again!!...I have to find out what he's doing, which I'll probably forget...
