he may well end up with dementia, and these may be signs, but may also
be part of normal ageing, and speaking off cuff. |

If you know you've forgotten something, that's the opposite of dementia. Dementia is a complete lack of awareness that you can't remember things.
When you walk into a room for something, and get annoyed because you find you can't remember what you were looking for, that isn't a cause for alarm. But if you just settle down in the room and shut your eyes, with not a suspicion you entered it for any other purpose, then that is a symptom of dementia. But don't worry about it, because it'll be absolutely impossible for anyone to convince you of what you're suffering from. |

That comes later screaming,my brother in law began 5 years ago and it became progressive until last year when everyone 'noticed' the problem.He would 'cheat' by recovering when caught out forgetting matters,even wanted to drive when it was dangerous,had to remove keys and hide them until my sister gave up driving out of fear. My sister even disguised the problem by answering his questions when he was tested for it two years ago,bizarre.Children visited occasionally only noticed a year ago how bad it had become. Tragic situation.

It is horrible to deal with, isn't it?
I was just trying to make the point that becoming confused or forgetful is definitely not, in itself, a sign of dementia. Nearly everyone notices that the brain does a kind of defrag on itself as it accumulates more and more experiences over the decades. Memories get re-ordered to make them more usable. Some get sent to lonely folders right at the back of the cupboard. Loads of more recent events just get sent straight to the recycle bin to free up space. It's normal and it's healthy, if aggravating sometimes. But it's not dementia. That's what happens when the operating system inside your head hits the equivalent of the perpetually spinning wheel. "Loading ..." You simply aren't aware there's a problem with your behaviour, because nothing is being processed any longer. |

But I do appreciate that it's very hard to look at someone like your poor bro-in-law, and be able to distinguish between forgetfulness due to a functioning brain and forgetfulness due to a non-functioning one.
I'm just concerned that too many people these days are worrying themselves unnecessarily over forgetfulness. It certainly isn't an early warning sign of anything worse than that. |

What with all the aluminium compounds reputed to be in the chemtrails and vaccines, there'll be a lot more of this dementia about.
Goodnight and happy st georges day. I hope the prezzy is just a bit forgetful. |

smoking (tobacco plant)holds the cure for dementia ,but governments will not admit this finding because it will cost billions to approve it.
and as smoking has serious side effects outweighing the numbers of dementia sufferers .So governments play god and keep information to a minimum about the tobacco plant cures ,and decide who lives a good quality of life and who dies.nothing new i suppose. |

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · 2h ....Dumb and Sick. A really bad show with low ratings - and will only get worse. CNN has been a proven and long term ratings and beyond disaster. In fact, it rewarded Chris Cuomo with a now unsuccessful prime time slot, despite his massive failure in the morning. Only on CNN! Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 2h Sorry to say but @foxandfriends is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho (Joe), who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on (free) all the time, has nosedived, too Angry... Very Presidential from Baby Donny.  |

smoking (tobacco plant)holds the cure for dementia billions spent on so far fruitless searches for dementia cures by big pharma and as usual there is a poster on betfair who has the answer. |

there is some research that suggests nicotine may well
help with dementia. i think more work is being done, but smoking is not being mooted as being helpful. |

Fair comments screaming but our Tom smoked most of his life and it didn't work for him,admittedly we are all different in some detail. Having seen this at close quarters I am really concerned how doctors diagnose it and remove driving licenses when they deny the problem to themselves as you understand.Not enough research goes into the causes,at least one retired consultant has said to me it has struck him that the rise has mirrored the NHS dishing out statins on an industrial scale and believes there are grounds for suspecting a correlation within that.
