Studies show memory lapse as early warning for Alzheimer's
Seriously. Is is really this difficult for doctors to just believe their patients reports?
Funny thing about memory- you don't notice what you don't remember. By the time you notice your own lapses- you are pretty freakin impaired.
I got my own age wrong for a while. I was born in December, so for eleven months have to subtract a year from the math. Totally forgot that part. My sleep specialist noticed, but never followed up.
