@A myALZteam Member Has your doctor sent you to a neurologist? I think that is the best qualified person to do tests and discuss what may be the case. There are quite a few types of memory and ways how they relate to parts of the brain. Just talking about myself, I am 78 and get the impression that if I don't "rehearse" the distant past by thinking or talking about it, some of it tends to slip away.
