Mad Cow
Welshers and Dawdlers Beware!
So for most of my life, my memory has been fantastic. Great recall, could remember people's and patient's names easily. The mind responded well. And then the 40's hit and it has been a slow change. Words take a few milliseconds more at times to come to mind. I have to think about people's names, etc. Started about 43 years old for me and frankly, it can be a little scary for me. My maternal grandparents both suffered from Alzheimer's and so that is always at the top of my mind when I find myself searching for a name. I have found myself thinking of something, going to the next room and cannot remember why I went there in the first place.
I do not think I am alone in this but wondered if any other FBG's are hitting this or have hit it? What have you done to help with it? I know exercise helps and I already run 25-30 miles a week and do some biking to and from work. No alcohol at all and that will not change. I do drink diet sodas and know that can contribute and go on spurts where I drop them and drink water, etc.
Now what was I talking about again?
