Hey Guys,
So, I have had really good month with no worries over my health, however yesterday I was giving a vocal lesson and couldn't for the life of me remember the word I needed, once my student used it in a sentance I thought, "aha, that's the word I needed!". Later on that evening I couldn't remember the word for hot water bottle - I did a few seconds later but I had a memory lapse.
This morning I woke up obsessing over this, forgetting twice in one day concerned me, am I being over dramatic? Also earlier I was going over to the cabinet to get a plate and started thinking about something totally unrelated, I started faffing about in the kitchen and thought "did I get a bowl before?" I didn't check, instead I went to get a plate, and realised as I placed it on the food counter I had got one already when I initially went to the cabinet but my mind had drifted so I got it on auto piolot but didn't realise.
I am only 26, turning 27 next week - and my grandmother has vascular dementia - I have googled (bad, I know) and it seems my memory loss is normal memory loss and I think because I am obsessing, I have become hyper sensitive about it and I am noticing what is normal forgetfulness almost too much and assuming the worse!!
I keep testing myself too - seeing if I can remember car reg plates etc.
Please help me - I feel crazy!! My "symptoms" haven't even been that bad!! Very minor but I just feel weird. Today I have felt unattached all day. These little forgetful moments yesterday and today have triggered off my HA something rotten.
What is the likelyhood of getting dementia at 27? I feel ridiculous.
