I believe we all tend to forget stuff as we get older. I think the only accurate way of finding out if you have old timers, is to go to the doctor and have tests done. I forget sometimes too and so does my husband, but in neither of our cases is it anything but forgetfulness.

When you are going to the supermarket and you end up in another town or State, then you have to worry. We all forget things when we get older.I really would not worry about it too much.If it makes you feel better, get it checked out.

maybe you should put your head back on, lol. although really Randy, check it out with your doc.
Do this at home test... If you fail be concerned.... Blind fold yourself... Get a friend or loved one to get simple to regognize (by smell ) objects... orange, lemon, soap, baby powder coffee.... If you can not recognoize the smells it is a good sign you are losing memory and not just having recall issues.

no when your brain losses memory it is gone.. The memoery of smell is one of the first memories to go. It is not that cant smell it ... you just cant recall what the smell is.. The memory is GONE... AS in not coming back... If you forget where you put your keys on occation that is a recall issue.. Not GONE misplaced.
I knew the answer to this but ive forgotton it.

I have all of these symptoms.. Mine is from focal seizures and complicated miagrianes.. Dont get ahead of yourself.. These are symptoms for many things.
In that case we all have a bit of alzheimers. However it is really sad to see a loved one going through it really, and knowing they are going that way is even worse.
Most common Alzheimer’s disease symptoms:
There are several stages of Alzheimer’s disease. There are different levels of signs that can be seen in patients depending on the seriousness of their case.
Memory loss is one of the most common Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. Patients might forget where they kept their important things. Patients might lose themselves in places that are quite well known to them. They might forget that they have had a conversation. They can forget names of friends and normal things. In severe stages patients might completely forget who they are. They might lose their entire memory.
The Alzheimer’s disease treatments might become more powerful if the symptoms are detected at the initial stages

Forget where I leave things.
Got lost coming home from my daughters in the dark.
My wife tells me all the time she told me something that I ask her about.
Forget names all the time, not just people but places.
But I still know who I am, because my name is here.........lol

Hey you should search out brain vitamins on the web. I used to take Focus Factor and it really helped me. I'm pretty sure there are better products out there now.
When you can’t remember what you did with a $10,000.000.00 winning lottery ticket. Better call it Alzheimer’s or droves of people dangling watch fobs before your eyes asking questions in a soothing voice will be trying to pry the information out of your brain. While others search through every paper and book and shoe box on the estate as if they would all get a piece of the pie if they could find it.
