Hope this is the best place to post this message?
I really need some advice as I am convinced I have early signs of alzeimers! I have had two scary episodes recently which have left me very worried. The first was before Christmas. I was driving my car with my husband in tow. It was very thick fog and we were deep in conversation. The next thing I arrived at a roundabout (one I know well) and for a few mins was very confused as to where I was. This terrified me. My Husband said it was the fog which had disoriented me, but I was left feeling very scared. The next episode happened yesterday. I was driving my car when I came to a set of traffic lights. My phone rang and I went to turn it off, but had trouble because I am currently using My husbands phone whilst mine is repaired. Anyway as I was fiddling with it the petrol sign beeped. Now I was driving MY car, but thought to myself oh it doesn't matter, Hubby can refill it. I thought I was driving HIS car!!!! Then as I was sat there I suddenly realised what I had thought and that I was in my own car. Again I felt really scared and a bit shaky. As well as these episodes I always find myself wondering what I have gone into a room for? Forgetting things and generally having to think hard about what I was going to do next. Sometimes I even forget what I was talking about! I'm really worried about it all and keep thinking about how I felt during those two episodes where I felt confused. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?
Thankyou so much.
