Can’t remember? If you think you are suffering memory loss....... Anosognosia, very interesting...

"If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's." It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory. "The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is lacking." This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.

Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease. The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there,
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys.

After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years.


Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statements:

1. "Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory.”

2. "Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware of what is happening.”

3. "The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness.”


Now for a little neurological test: Only use your eyes!

1- Find the C in the table below!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2- If you found the C, then find the 6 in the table below.

3- Now find the N in the table below. Attention, it's a little more difficult!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

If you pass these three tests without problem:
- you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
- your brain is in perfect shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.

Well that’s a relief!

Interesting, Thanks

I passed!

Yep. Can't believe how fast I found the Q, R and P.

Whew, Passed. Now if I can only find my phone and keys

I never realized how lucky I was to be so forgetful. 😁

Having close intimate knowledge of senile dementia as well as Alzheimer’s I can say with certainty that the information in the OP was and is my experience. My father in law had Alzheimer’s and was suffering for years and years in fact looking back now it was at least 20 years. It started off slow but once it really “took hold” it was unmistakable. He didn’t know that he just asked the same question 10 times in 2 minutes or that people were not trying to get him, to him it was all very real and very troubling. It’s a sad disease that affects the loved ones as much as it affects the patients.

Wheeeeewww

I found all two...errr...four....uh....

Whatever



found all three easliy

Those tests are getting harder..

... the old one was fold a piece of paper and put it on the floor.

I was worried about something once but I forgot what it was!!

I don't know what Alzheimers is like but I did lose my memory once for about 11 hours. I'd say its like being in a coma while another person takes over your brain.

The hardest part was that 30 minutes or so where I was coming back "online". Someone would ask me a question and I'd know the answer but I wouldn't know why I knew the answer.

So now I'm pretty sensitive to memory loss and have done a few test to see if I suffer from it. Luckily after watching a few videos on it, there is a pretty distinct difference from just having trouble recalling something and Alzheimers or some variation of Dementia.

What am I supposed to do? I can’t remember???

I hate to admit it but it is called
Oldtimers
I have it and it sucks at time

I don’t think that is entirely true. My mom had Alzheimer’s . She was extremely smart, held two PHD’s and was the head of the criminal justice department at a major university. She started to show signs of Alzheimer’s so my sister went down to get her. While packing up her house she found numerous books and studies on memory loss and Alzheimer’s. She was aware of what was happening .

Do you remember if you got that from Faceybook?

That’s true but I think it’s more academic at that point, the “point” of diagnosis. My father in law knew he’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but he didn’t think he had a problem. There was a kind of disconnect between the diagnosis and the disease. He was still training pilots when everyone started to notice him forgetting little things but he didn’t recognize it, he thought he was “normal”.

No. It was sent to me by a friend, a retired police detective. He did not send me the source.

Well - thank you. Fortunately, that was easy - wish other things were the same.

I hear viagra is showing promise in the treatment for alzheimers.

There is a joke in there somewhere but I'm finding it hard to grasp.

I got up off the couch and went in another room and could actually remember why I was there.

Well, it WAS the bathroom , but still.......

Bad test! My sil has full blown dementia and found all three letter in less then 2 minutes.

Passed the test, but can't remember the name of the disease.

Too hard to forget?

I had a thought once, I didn't know what to do with it so i took a nap and it went away.

Memory is over-rated.

I don’t know why finding the M was supposed to be hard.

Alzheimer’s is easy to spot, unless you have it. 😬

Watched Dad go through it his last 3 years. Not much fun to deal with.

My "find and replace" function worked perfectly.

First two in less then a second. It took me three seconds for the third test. Still worried because half the time I can't remember schit!.
