I’m afraid that I am having some dementia issues and I’m a nervous wreck about it. My daughter (who I live with) doesn’t think I have dementia but I feel like I have signs of it. I’m off and on forgetful regarding names of people I used to remember easily and I also forget occasionally to get my laundry out of the dryer. These issues are periodic but scare me to bits. I’m not even sure what brand of doctor to see about this problem.

@kfxston I have been known to put dinner in the oven while forgetting to turn the oven, discovering later it is not ready! lol! I used to be a half decent cook and also baked from scratch. Now, none of my kids want to eat what I make because it seems I have forgotten to cook so … when any of them visit we either go out to eat, order in, or throw in a frozen entree!

If you feel like you want to be tested, call a neurologist. They can give you a few things to test your ability that will help make a decision.
Mild Cognitive Impairment is not necessarily the first step toward dementia.
Get tested so you know where you are at.
