Although I have not been diagnosed with any sort of dementia, I feel I too am going down that path. Am hesitant to mention it to my neurologist. I am seeing him due to tremors and neuropathy. I loose people's names, only to remember them 15 minutes later. I can't think of names of places or things, only to remember them later. Is this the beginning of dementia???? I have a good friend who has Alzheimer's and she has gone down hill rapidly. I am in the process of getting all my affairs in order, including writing my obituary. I know my son would not know enough to write it. Thanks for letting me vent.
