The following is a previous post from BadBobby....

In the following analysis the French Professor Bruno Dubois Director of the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospitals / addresses the subject in a rather reassuring way:

"For some time now, I have been stuck and do not know what we were talking about ..
Before, I was afraid it was the beginning of Alzheimer's ... but today, after reading this article, I am reassured."

"If anyone is aware of his memory problems, he does not have Alzheimer's."

1. I forget the names of families ...
2. I do not remember where I put some things ...

It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory.
"The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is lacking. "

This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.

Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease.

The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there ...
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys ...

After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but
rather a characteristic due to the passage of years ...

Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statement:

"Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory.
"Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware of what is happening."

Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights:

"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness.

- Now for a little neurological test: Only use your eyes!

1- Find the C in the table below!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO

2- If you have already found the C, then find the 6 in the table below.

3- Now find the N in the table below. Attention, it's a little more difficult!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

If you pass these three tests without problem:
- you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
- your brain is in perfect shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.

So, share this with your over-60 friends, it can reassure them...

Like this, since I found all each letter and number within two seconds.
I always thought of "memory loss" after 60 as having so much knowledge and trivia in my brain, there's more junk to sift through to get to the information you need at that second. lol
Good ole BB!!

Thanks for reposting!

I totally concur. It's not like I can't actually remember all the info I have accrued over the past 70 years, it's just that my filing and retrieval systems need a "refresh" a bit more frequently these days.

Kandy I heard our brain is like a memory card. Only so much capacity. Periodically it does a sweep n when it finds apps that haven't been used in certain time frame it's deleted 👍😕

Great info Bad. So right about info stored, just can't pull out when want but suddenly while later it is there. There is a great program to challenge the brain and it is used for people with brain issues and also to keep sharp. It is called BrainHQ. You can try it free and then sign up for a minimal fee per month or get for whole year. It is challenging as you progress but I think definitely worth using. Keeps you sharper. Good luck and thanks again for easing the mind of some people.

The way to check if you have Alzheimer's is easy. If you forget stuff, but realize you do, you do not have Alzheimer's.
People with Alzheimer's do not realize they are forgetting stuff.

My one sister-in-law has Dimension. My brother to put in perspective put it this way. In walk in kitchen and forgot what you were there for. That’s ok. Now you walk into the kitchen and see your car keys. Pick them
up look at them and say “what are these for. It’s been maybe 5 years or so and he still dealing with his wife. Tough thing to go through.
