I'm beginning to believe...

Best of luck Farview x

Farview, I can only imagine how you're feeling this morning. I hope you have lots of support from family and friends. Sending kind wishes from afar. xx

Setting off shortly to the memory clinic and am a bag of nerves....

To watch someone's short term memory fade...personality change...is just unbelievably sad...A very clever man who has worked all over the world in the oil industry ...who can still,albeit takes longer..do sudoku...read the paper,watches and comments on the news...remembers the past...but cannot now remember something from minutes ago,sense of humour altered,..cant follow instructions....its very hard to watch and to live with in all honesty, constant repetitiveness is tiring...I've never really encountered this before...no memory problems in my family...Hs mother (estranged) had dementia....I'm now seeing the true cruelty of this disease...

Im very sorry to read this farview, so worrying for you.

Yes he had full range of blood tests after failing an NHS memory test done by our GP....hence his referral to the memory clinic...sorry hollysteers that you have been through this also...

Farview, has he had a blood test recently? I'm asking, just in case, because my friend's mother was seriously low in Folic Acid - and it made her memory symptoms much worse.

Best wishes, farview. Hope you get on well tomorrow.

I feel for you, farview.
When an H is in denial, there is a lot if pressure on you both.

Very difficult situation farview have been through this myself 💐

Thank you all for your comments and good wishes...I shall post re the outcome tomorrow.....

So sorry to read this. It must be so hard for you both. I do hope that you can get some support.

Relieved for you, hope tomorrow’s appointment is productive.

Phew in one respect farview but I can understand the frustration in respect of the memory assessment, I hope it goes as well as it can.

Just back from the doctors...she thinks it's a virus...has given us a prescription for in case it gets worse over weekend...and she said its okay for us to attend the two hour appointment at the memory clinic tomorrow...he keeps saying hes not going because theres nothing wrong with him...but there is and I'm finding it very wearing...we were in Dubai at our daughter and family Nov3rd until November 24th and within 2 days of being home..hes no recollection of having been there...that's just an example...

That is so difficult, sending kind thoughts

I hope your DH recovers soon and is assessed ASAP. If he requires hospitalisation, hopefully a member from the memory clinic can do the assessment during his stay.
Such a worrying time for you both. Best wishes.

That must be so frustrating for you both. Maybe they will pick something up as regards to the memory loss and treat it as urgent? I hope he will feel better soon 💐

How frustrating for you both farview. I hope your DH feels better soon and you don't have to wait too long for another appointment at the memory clinic.

That’s so frustrating hopefully will get sorted soon

That's so annoying isn't it!

Hoping all goes well for both you and your DH

Wishing your DH a good recovery. It's so frustrating isn't it!

I’m so sorry to hear this fair view.Wishing your husband a speedy recovery and hope he can have the memory assessment very soon.
💐for you.

Oh no, you must be so worried

You are bound to be concerned about your DH he will be in safe hands. He will most likely be treated for pneumonia first. Then the memory assessment and any treatment required it will hopefully put your mind at rest.
