Didnt have a lot of time to explain earlier,but the past, my guess would be, Two and a half to 3 years, Ive noticed a major decline in my memory. This timing also seemed to coincide with my Husband falling off a ladder and breaking the bone in his back, then developing a heart problem that required him to be on Coumidin, and Kelsie getting older and starting to need a lot of help with paperwork and such to get into a good College, and as some of you already know... I dont deal with stress that well. Also, I take a lot of medication, so I just kept telling myself that, Oh, its just from stress, or its just from all the meds you take...blah blah blah. And if I would ever mention it to someone that would laugh and say, Yeah, me too... same here. Cant remember shit anymore. Now, ofcourse those comments just helped to enforce the thought I already had. Ive recently dropped my therapy Sessions, because honestly, I feel that my Therapist has taken me as far as she can. It is now up to me to apply the Mindfulness,meditation practices, breathing techniques, and such to my life on a daily basis. And as I like to say, Im a work in progress, or Im still working on that. Which I am on a daily basis. Well, not sure what it was, but something possessed me to mention my memory issues to my then therapist, Joanne. I said to her what is the point of knowing I have Alzheimers if there isnt a cure for it? She explained to me that there are several different types of Dementia, and several of them have cures. Like a medication that is out that stops the progression. So, then it was like a light bulb went on in my head. And Joanne suggested that I talk to my PCP and have her set me up for an appt. Today was that appt. I have another one on November 8th with a different person at the same facility to test me for Memory and Concentration. Today, was sort of a get to know me and my life type thing along with a personality test.
