I believe I have Alzheimer's, came on suddenly, blanks on memory, last two weeks, getting worse, peoples quizzed reaction, terrified?

I live by myself, have terminal epilepsy, then this suddenly came, rest of body pretty useless, must have been those 400 plus seizures the final nail? Although my brain my best bit, used to set pub quizzes, was writing a book, memory now like holed cheese now, leaving things forgetting where I put them sometimes take five minutes to find them, peoples reactions when I talk, lapse of memory, have been in touch with relevant specialist? These blanks getting worse will need a carer of some sort, back of brain is it worth it? Absolutely petrified! Cheerio for a while anyway?

Perhaps there is another reason for your lapses.Do keep posting. Hoping for a good outcome for you.

Burning face had that for a while?

[Roxylox in reply to Adlon57]

Sorry, can't identify anything from that

[Adlon57 in reply to Roxylox]

Something to do with my broken skull incident of 2018, double seizure, I suspect?

[Roxylox in reply to Adlon57]

Ah yes, that must've been terrible trauma. Would imagine that could still be causing memory issues.

Alzheimer's doesn't work that quickly. I would start with your doctor and go from there. forgetting where things are and to do lists is something that happens as you get older. I have all sorts of aids and tricks to help me now. Could be you are just more cognizant of the changes recently. Could also be something else which is treatable.

Essentially it has started since start of Covid in March 2020, isolation and [blank?] fear of constricted places [forgotten the name of it there, that is the sort of thing that started then] Claustrophobia [had to look that up, had that since 8 years old] but then two weeks ago, complete memory blanks, what am I doing here? that sort of thing?I was diagnosed diabetes 2 the same time had to form my own diet, it could be something to do with my diet, I have been liver tested recently [blood] but NHS in Northern Ireland is pure hell at the moment, phone up a doctor, if you can get one, he might give me an appointment

🥴🙄No wonder I am taking HBP pills?A wee bit of humour to lighten the proceedings, my neighbour has put in for planning permission for an extension, I said no, it constricts my view [claustrophobia] thinking about it, neighbours been there 11 years, friendly enough, two kids when they come out always very pale, squinty eyes, I then realised in all those 11 years, not ONCE have they opened their blinds, I have NEVER seen in through ANY of their windows, back or front, I think they call them Agoraphobiac's fear of open places?
