A Study to Investigate Very Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Raises the Bar
I'm in an age group where people joke about their memories - sort of. There is always a little fear attached, when they do this. The little laugh has a nervous edge. Is this normal? Is aging supposed to do this? Maybe I'm just stressed or tired.
I get annoyed with one friend, because every time I forget a name, or what I was earlier thinking I was going to mention, I get the, "Oh, we all do that," comment. Before this friend comments, I'd only be thinking I'm juggling too many balls and I'm bound to miss one once in awhile. After my friend comments, I start to wonder. "Is this normal? Memory loss with age isn't really supposed to be normal, according to many studies. Maybe I'm developing a problem."
