My husband and I are both 72 years old. We both have "memory issues."
Mine: Primarily unable to find words, sometimes mid-sentence -- which makes less confident in conversation with others. And I notice I don't spell as well as I used to .
My husband's: Not recollecting recent things he's been told.
We have no children or close relatives. It's frightening to think of cognitive issues worsening.
Neither of us have had testing. I've been frightened to find out that I might have a cognitive impairment, thinking there's no real treatment. I'm thinking I need to face this and talk to an expert.
Please, I've been able to get RECOMMENDATIONS from Mayo Connect folks about GREAT DOCTORS I might connect with. I'm lucky to get my primary care at MAYO CLINIC, ROCHESTER. So, please, would any of you be willing to suggest a name or two of someone here that I might seek to see? Either writing the name(s) in response here or by sending me a private message, if you'd prefer. I would be so grateful!!!
All the Best to You All! Rose
