Early sign of Alzheimer's?


i am 44. about 5 or 6 years ago i awoke from a mid-day nap in my bed. i had absolutley no idea where the heck i was. i pannicked and swiveled my head back and forth to see if i recognized any of the bedroom furniture, drapes, etc. after about 6 or 7 seconds i snapped out of it and realized i was in my own bed in my own bedroom in my own home. i don't think my heart ever raced so fast in all of my life as it did during that ordeal.

also, i forget things a little too easily anymore. my supervisor calls me in to his office to do a little project and review some reports. by the time i get back to my office (a mear 8 yards from his) i forget a detail or two of what he had told me.

as far as i know, there is no history of Alzheimer's or dimentia on either side of my family tree.

Become more of a note taker. See your doctor. Opinions from here will not be a real diagnosis and if you take it to heart it could do more harm than help.

I'd take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements in the winter months. See Alzheimer's, and memory improvement, in sections 29, and 41, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris Gingko biloba may help.

If you go to a doctor and ask him/her, there are tests they can give you to find the problem and also, if you do have dementia or the beginnings of Alzheimer's, there are medications that you can start early that will help

I think you should see a doctor, they would probably refer you to a neurologist. My grandmother had alzheimer's and it started out with small things like her coming into the kitchen to ask if we had put on a pot of coffee, she would turn around and leave the kitchen and 3 minutes later she would come back and ask again. Also, I worked with a womsan that had been in a car accident, not a real bad one, but for the life of her the dnetist could not train her and it was obvious she was very smart. She was learning to become a dental assistant and we would show her the set up for a procedure and she could do it 3 times in a row and still not remember on her own. She saw her doctor who referred her to a neurologist and they came back with the diagnosis of dementia and they were able to relate it back to her car accident.
See your doctor it is the only way you will know for sure what is going on, good luck!

hmmm... the hypocamus region gradually dries up from ageing... its the symptom of senile..
