I've recently had a brain scan which has come up with a diagnosis that I have moderate degree of atrophic changes. I have a further appointment to have cognitive tests to assess the problems.
For the past eighteen months my memory has steadily deteriated where I am forgetting things on a regular basis, I put things down and cant find them which is incredibly frustrating. I put thing on the oven forget that I have anything on the cooker, tis has resulted in a few burnt pizzas etc. Since getting my letter I am becoming worried that there may be some form of dementia which is responsible for my poor memory and mood swings.
One other thing is that I am a recovering alcoholic and have been dry for 12 years.
Wonder if anyone has any advice?
