My mums memory has been getting worse over the last couple of years. We finally managed to get her to go to the doctors who did blood tests and sent her for an MRI scan...both were clear. She has also done the same memory test at least 5 times now and comes out with a respectable 26-28 each time. This test consists of the same thing each time- copy a diagram, spell world backwords etc. The doctor says she has mild cognitive Impairment but both me, my dad and sister think it is more than that. She constantly asks the same questions over and over again in a short space of time, doesn't know what day of the week it is, repeats things and forgets where things are in the house. She also forgets who people are- thankfully not her immediate family at the moment. She has no problem remembering memories from a long time ago. I am sure she has the start of Alzheimers but really don't know where to go from here. The memory test they keep doing doesn't seem to be a good indicator as to the problems she has. Surely family are the best indicator when they notice changes to a loved ones memory? Any pointers from here please? Does anyone know of any different tests available?
