Memory Loss

I've been driving around and forgot where I was, how I got there, what turns I took, etc. but when I ask my Dr. what that is or why it happens, the simple answer seems to be stress. Why then does it take someone to be of a certain age before they do tests to see if it really is something larger than just simple forgetfulness. Why not test people earlier? Maybe they do and I am just asking all the wrong questions.

For now - I am upping my B12 intake!

Apparently B12 is connected to sleep issues and sleep issues are connected to memory loss. Makes sense as I am watching my mom's memory fade as her sleep is nearly non existent. She deals with sleep apnea on top of the other million things we are dealing with each day. Not breathing at night 55 or more times per hour, every hour, surprised she is still alive.

I guess I'll just wait for some more tests...next one set for 5+ hrs. and it begins in April, but funny -ironically, I forget the date.
