Short-term memory, absolutely appalling….

Me too and also well known names disappear completely out my head then return an hour, or a day, or a week later
I was worried but all my similar aged friends say the same
thing, also they say if you have dementia you don’t know you have it so if you’re worried you have it, you probably havent got it
Well that’s my story and I m sticking to it 🤣

It's names with me too. I find going through the alphabet helps sometimes.
Or I'll wake up in the middle of the night and remember them.

The odd thing is I can remember the names of my children's playgroup friends from years ago even though I rarely see them.

Same here. I'm 75.

Same here but I always say “ It’s ok to loose your keys as long as when found , you know what to do with them”

Me too and I’m 66. It’s rather annoying!

Mine is very poor. If I have a wine it is even worse. I also had it checked and was told not to worry because all the other tests I had to do were absolutely normal. Getting old sucks, big time.

Very familiar daily occurrences 😂

My dad has this and went to the doctor about it. He told dad it was called Benign senile forgetfulness and most older people get it to some extent. I find I'm the same and I'm 66.

And me! I remember a lot from many years ago, but, having said that, there are many things of which I have absolutely no recollection. A conversation the other day revealed that I have absolutely no memory of bringing baby number 3 home from hospital!

Same - I’m 75 and so far decided I’m doing fine
