Early signs

[Mbc5594]

My grandmother is 63 and a recovering cancer survivor. She has had a history with sepsis infection due to a bile leakage. She has a tendency to be very forgetful and more awake and alert at night than day. Her mother has Alzheimer’s and her mother’s mother suffered from it also. I am concerned that she may be showing early signs of it or could it just be the after math of the sepsis infection?

Welcome to the community. If you're able to arrange a doctor visit for your grandmother, that would be a good place to start -- a primary care physician will likely refer out to a neurologist or neuropsychologist.

Also, you can use this memory loss checklist, which will send a report by email: memorylosstest.com/memory-l...

All the best.
