    Dementia?

    So. I’ve been pretty refrained recently about posting about my silly daily struggle with HA, but I wanted to put this one out there.
    Recently I’ve lost my train of thought, quite spectacularly, at least twice. Once I was telling a story to some friends and became fleetingly distracted by something then when I came back to my story I had completely forgotten the point I was making. It was quite embarrassing. I just stopped and said “nope. I can’t remember what I was going to say. Sorry!”. The other time I can’t remember (lol) but I’m sure it happened.
    Could this be early onset dementia or a brain tumour (one of my Big Three HA favourites)....? Or just noticing something that is quite normal and common?

    This happens to me absolutely all the time; it's nothing to worry about, promise!

    If it helps, I get this and I’m 38 year old male, and I very much assume I’ve not got dementia yet!

    If that was dementia I would have had dementia 50 times a day. And/or a brain tumour 50 times a day.

    well I’m a 42 year old female. But you know how the HA brain works. Find a symptom, amplify it, cast around for other symptoms which fit a catastrophic diagnosis and BOOM! You

    At any given time I have about five half-finished tasks on my desk at work, and I often check my tabs and find myself halfway through a sentence.
