I also have a hard time finding words when I speak and walk into rooms and totally forget why I am there. If I am talking to someone, I either forget what they said or what we are talking about. It is also noticeable that I get agitated more easily in conversations or when there is too much noise. I used to live to read but I am finding it hard to read a book or any lengthy text. Depending on the results of the brain MRI and other nerve testing, I may ask to get a cognitive test. If I am showing signs of cognitive decline, I want to do whatever I can to stop or slow down the decline.
