If your memory is bad you might be convinced that these lapses of brain activity are a recent phenomenon. Its not that you forgot that you're an idiot, but just never knew until now.

So now, your theory falls apart like the Jets this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one who typically went out to get stuff, I actually liked to get out of the house. Most of the times it was to go buy beer, while I'm out, what else do we need. very good, you were winning more until the beer thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I can still remember things, but the recall speed is reduced. So I'm not nearly as good at Jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I’m in my sixties. Forget remembering names. Ain’t gonna happen. I also lose my words quite often. I know there’s a word for what I’m trying to say, but I can’t remember what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 6 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: I'm only 37 and I'm already experiencing forgetfulness. I don't want to say memory loss because that sounds like really serious stuff. Like for instance, I had to buy another fuel cap the other day because after I got gas, I forgot to put on the cap before I drove off. Last week as I was getting my son in the car, I put my cup on top of the roof. Forgot about that cup and drove off...cup splashed all over my windshield. Forgot my lunch today. It's sitting on the counter in my kitchen as we speak. The coffee station at my work is close to the bathrooms. I'll put in a k-cup and then go to the bathroom. When I leave the bathroom, sometimes I forget about my coffee. It's little things I like this. Did you guys experience this in your late 30's? Have you also noticed increased difficulty planning/completing tasks or making decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've noticed it others may have noticed your change in behavior before you did it but were hesitant to speak up Ask your wife and kids if they've noticed the change in you as well. Or maybe ask the wife and have her discreetly prod the kids for their input. Maybe bring it up with coworkers that you trust If you find this has been going on longer than you realized, it might be time to consult a doctor.
