Hello everyone,
I'm hoping for a bit of advice please.
I'm 50 and have been having problems with my memory for the past 2 years. At first I shrugged it off as just being a bit muddled, but the last 5 months have been awful.
After a visit to my GP where I did a few tests he referred me to a memory clinic. I received a telephone appointment 4 weeks later which my husband did as my language skills have deteriorated considerably. It turned out this was to make another appointment for yet another telephone appointment, again 4 weeks later. After much wrangling he managed to get them to agree to give an appointment to the memory clinic.
I feel so upset to be causing so much trouble, but I know I have to do something. I wanted to keep my problems private from my family, and keep telling them it's the menopause (I'm not sure how much longer they are going to believe it). I am so afraid of what the results might be and how we will deal with them.
I'm sorry if this rambles, it's taken me ages to write, and I have spell checked it so hope it makes some sense. Just venting really in the hopes that you my have some advice.
