"I know that I was coming in the living room for something." How many times have you made that statement? IF you have an early onset of Alzheimer's disease chances are you can't answer that question.Look there are lots of signs of this disease. You may just have selective memory and remembering why you about to do something was some thing you selected not to remember.
Now not remembering why you came in a room is one thing but, if you can't remember how to get home you may need see someone about that. That is if you can remember the person and their phone number. Another thing to watch out for is if you have trouble or cannot do simple and familiar tasks.For instance mom father could make the best stuffed shell you would ever taste. Then it seemed like out of the blue he just couldn't do it. He would try and try to remember but he couldn't.
A warning sign that can be a little confusing because it happens to a lot of people is misplacing things. It can also mean that the item was that important in the first place but you sure get some test just to be sure.
"I don't feel like going shopping." Now if those left my mouth everyone who know me would know something was wrong. Do you often not feel like doing things that that you once love to doing.Once agian talk to someone you can trust. IF you have all the warning signs you reall need to cantact you doctor,a family member, or a close friend. Don't be in denial get informed and keep yourself safe.
