I was looking for someone to speak to about my mother in law. She has not been diagnosed with anything and, when recently visiting the doctors they did a memory test on her and have just said her memory issues are just old age, but she is getting very concerned.
She's in her mid 60's and recently she has been getting a lot worse with her memory. She has become very forgetful, forgetting simple things and losing her thread in conversation. She gets muddled up easily now and will repeat something she has said this morning that was spoken about last night.
I know that she is very concerned about her memory and that sometimes this is made worse by her husband who has began getting frustrated with her inability to remember some things.
Also, her son, my husband is getting upset too as he is finding it difficult seeing his mother getting muddled and confused.
I am a little unsure where to go from here or how to help her, I don't know a lot about dementia or Alzheimer's but thought you might be able to help me or give me some advice.
