Can't picture faces in my mind anymore

here are the symptoms of mild early stage alzheimers Alzheimer's disease is often first diagnosed in the mild, or early, stage, when it becomes clear to family and doctors that a person is having significant trouble with memory and thinking. In the mild Alzheimer's stage, people may experience: Memory loss for recent events. Individuals may have an especially hard time remembering newly learned information and repeatedly ask the same question. Difficulty with problem solving, complex tasks and sound judgments. Planning a family event or balancing a checkbook may become overwhelming. Many people experience lapses in judgment, such as when making financial decisions. Changes in personality. People may become subdued or withdrawn — especially in socially challenging situations — or show uncharacteristic irritability or anger. Decreased attention span and reduced motivation to complete tasks also are common. Difficulty organizing and expressing thoughts. Finding the right words to describe objects or clearly express ideas becomes increasingly challenging. Getting lost or misplacing belongings. Individuals have increasing trouble finding their way around, even in familiar places. It's also common to lose or misplace things, including valuable items.

there is a condition I know called prosopagnosia but then you would not recognize anybodies face when you see it so it doesn't seem to be that either. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/prosopagnosia/Prosopagnosia.htm we studied all these brain disorders in university

Dr F said I didn't have Alzheimers even though t had a hard time counting backward from 100 with minus 7s. He had me subtract in my head from 100 and I had a difficult time but I did it. He asked me to explain certain sayings and I knew what they meant but couldn't say them. He would say some saying like 'he's driving at a snail's pace' or something. Sone I could explain but others I couldn't. I hope this new doc can help me.

that is a good point hon

I'll be seing the shrink on the 6th.

I've never even been able to remember names. Weeks after meeting people I'd still have to ask them their names. My memory is very bad. Part of that I'd due to vitamin B12 deficiency. I take a shot every month but it doesnt help my memory at all. I've seen infomercials on tv. I have no idea if that can really be done. They want you to buy a program. They get rich and we are no better off. I try to keep my brain active as a writer but that is getting mire difficult too.
