I am 55, female, and have developed a dreadful memory. I know people forget things, but, on times I get worried about dementia, I've done a memory test with the doctor which I passed, that sort of thing I can do easily. But its day to day life, for example I take zapain for cluster headaches, I usually take half of it out as I find they make me really sleepy, today I am not sure if I've accidentally taken a whole one. I have to double check appointment times.
He immediately lost short term memory and now has started to lose long term memory. We have taken him for a neuropsychologist eval which revealed severe dementia of unknown origin. All neuro image testing has been normal (CT scan, PET scan) All blood work has been normal. He now presents like an Alzheimers patient with sexual inappropriateness but neurologist said he has the symptoms of an Alzheimers/dementia patient without having the actual disease.
My mother was having memory problems, and eventually convinced her PCP to test her. Her PET scan came back as "Abnormal" and "Early Stage Dementia." Now, it was 3 weeks before we could see a Neurologist. Then he said, this they should have done other tests before this, and sent us to someone else. Now, it's 27 days until THAT test takes place. In Florida and they move like turtles. Many also have are egomaniacs.
Furthermore, depressed elderly individuals have been found to report more subjective memory complaints in the absence of the frequent objective memory problems reported for demented individuals. I would recommend a diagnostic evaluation by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. This may also assist you in developing healthy ways of supporting him. But bear in mind that his diabetes could have a significant impact on his mood if not well controlled, so this needs attention too.
The brain monitor is the best available technology to dramatically reduce your risk of delirium, dementia & death from anesthesia over medication.
21st century anesthesia pairs a brain monitor along with those for the vital signs.
The brain monitor transforms the mystery of every patient's requirement into an open book test.
Much more information in 'Getting Over Going Under, 5 things you MUST know before anesthesia.
//www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352013 I have read thought that doctors ARE hesitant to diagnose alzheimers disease until they have observed the dementia over a period of time. 6 to 12 months, unfortunately. https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/recognizing-and-diagnosing-alzheimers.htm They repeat the evaluations to be sure.
My father in law has all symptoms to prove that he has dementia. Except for he has high B12 level and the
MRI test was perfect.
What is it then.
My father has just recently turned 50 and has been showing serious signs of dementia. He is a very prideful person, so getting help is sometimes an issue with him; therefore, I am turning to the internet for some insight.
Lately, he has been having a seriously hard time differentiating between reality and his dreams. Usually, believing events have taken place, such as arguments and conversations, that have never occurred.
Im doing an I-Search paper for my Honors English 3 class, and I would like to know a little about memory loss. If you could tell me how it occurs, some treatment options, how it affects the person, and the medical reason that it happens, (such as what happens in the brain to make it forget, other than a bump on the head) would really help me. Thank you.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also called Alzheimer disease or simply Alzheimer's, is the most common cause of dementia, afflicting 24 million people worldwide. Alzheimer's is a degenerative and terminal disease for which there is currently no known cure. In its most common form, it occurs in people over 65 years old although a less-prevalent early-onset form also exists. The disease can begin many years before it is eventually diagnosed.
I've had a recent history (child history of trauma, injury and other issues) of seizures. After CT's, MRI's and several VEEG's I have been diagnosed with PNES or non-epileptic seizures. I believe that this diagnosis is right since I've previously been diagnosed by a therapist with PTSD, dissociative amnesia and conversion disorder (they referred me to the neurologists for further evaluation of the seizures).
Because of the dementia she does not remember the cancer diagnosis. I wonder if that is what keeps her going. Her dementia is now stage 5, well into the moderate stages. In my opinion the dementia is what she will eventually die from not the cancer or the COPD. Her Drs gave her 6 months to live 2 1/2 years ago. Her only continued symptoms are a cough and getting winded on exertion. She won't do oxygen or her nebulizer. Like I said, very slow decline.
Thank you for your response I don't use any drugs, no seizures depression is not an issue either but I do get little sleep after I finish my day before I go to sleep I stay up till 2:30-3:30 am everyday on the tv or computer and wake up around 7:30-8 if I don't have to wake up for college I usually get a couple more hours of sleep a night but 4 or 5 days a week im getting between 4.5-5.
Cerebral atrophy or shrinking of brain is generally associated with dementia ( forgetfulness ), seizures, and a group of language disorders called the aphasias. Dementia is characterized by a progressive impairment of memory and intellectual function and may be severe enough to interfere with social and work skills. Memory, orientation, ability to learn may also be impaired. Aphasias are a group of disorders involving disturbances in speaking and understanding language..
I also feel very foggy like my memory is gone and have trouble thinking. My headaches are less but I feel like my brain is foggy or have memory loss? I am just wondering if anyone could help me with if this is going to affect my long term health like give me dementia or alzheimers or anything? I have seen studies linking this klonopin with dementia and cancer and hasnt made me to excited that I took it. Any info would be appreciated TY.
Vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke, is the second most common dementia type. But there are many other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia, including some that are reversible, such as thyroid problems and vitamin deficiencies.
Dementia is often incorrectly referred to as "senility" or "senile dementia," which reflects the formerly widespread but incorrect belief that serious mental decline is a normal part of aging.
I have suffered from depression most of my life, as well as chronic migraines with aura. I starting having a slight stuttering and memory fog about 2 yrs ago, in June of last year I really started having issues, getting up from my desk I had to hold on, I had to wait to walk or I'd fall. I was losing words, calling things the wrong words, mixing words up.
I have urine backing up in both kidneys, so then I get sudden need to use the bathroom, which I had but now it's worse.
Within the last 4 weeks she has lost most of her short term memory and some of her long term memory. The other day my wife phoned to say hello and was not reconized, (this seems really odd to me as my wife and my sister-in-law are twins and no one can tell them apart when they are on the phone). My sister-in-law has taken her to a psychiatrist, a doctor, and had a CAT scan done. The diagnosis is that it is the onset of a form of dementia and unlikely to improve.
It is difficult to tell if these symptoms are due to neurological disorder like Presenile dementia which cause loss of memory and concentration, decreased judgement, misplacing things, mood swings, confusion and loss of confidence.
