I had to play it to remind me what it sounded like Does this kind of thing happen to anyone else? At what point does memory loss become cause for concern.
Happens to me all the time.. (I'm 52)
Recent memory blips are..
Forgetting names of groups or songs. Music has always been my obsession and I was good at music quizzes (now I'm crap)
I forgot the word that comes before 'floss' (as in 'dental') I couldn't get the dental bit so I had to say 'gob floss'. (true story)
I spent ten minutes trying to get into the wrong cottage on holiday. Our car was even parked opposite our cottage. My excuse? They had similar doors.
I forgot my e-mail address (the one I've had for 17 years)
I forgot my own date of birth (I had to ask my DIL)
I blame brain fog (fibromyalgia)
If I'm found wandering the streets in my Clash T shirt and PJ bottoms, then I'll go and see someone...
