It's so common now that I've just started doing things as I think of them instead of waiting a bit to do them later. I just chalk that up to aging.

I have the same memory problems. I'll think of something, sometimes within a few seconds, that thought will disappear. I try to send myself an email of what I'm thinking about before I forget. Has become very common for me and it's frustrating. Hopefully it's just an aging thing and nothing serious.
I took the SAGE test that was in the other thread abut dementia last night and did well on the test. It wasn't perfect but I passed. There's three tests available, I think I'll take the other two and see how I do. Got a doc appointment in a week for something else and I think I'll mention this memory issue to her and see what she says.
