There are other early symptoms, but I forgot what they were.

I used to know them ..but now I don't recall

I wonder about symptoms that I associated with exhaustion that are now not associated with exhaustion becoming more frequent.

The leaving of a room with a purpose ..and then wondering what you were going to do once you get to the next room. After a brief pondering of the matter, I find myself going back into the original room to get the "feeling" of what it was I intended to do to begin with. Short term memory loss. Not "loss" really ..sorta misplacing it for a bit. You could see it in its normal version with an exhausted candidate ..where he would start a statement ..and forget what the point was. Gaps in continuity of thought, I guess.
 
Sorta like the mental hard drive is full....

I started popping this: Altrum DMF

I must say DMF does not keep me from forgetting stuff when I have a ton on the mind, but when I must recall the 9-10 items I needed to bring from the office back to the shop, the mental list comes into front conscientiousness much more rapidly than before.
 
Great, my dear old Dad (now 88) has Alzheimer's and he used to eat fruit for lunch and retired as a college professor. Physically, he's healthy as a horse and thin as well.

I eat fast food all the time and I'm about 20-30 lbs overweight for my height. I'll probably get Alheimer's tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry about it too much: I'm only 27, and I've had that every once in a while for many years. I've heard it called destinesia. Or maybe you should be worried and we're both getting Alzheimer's!

Thought I heard that mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth may be suspects for Alzheimer's. Have also heard the HFCS thing. Oh, and I heard that copper in our water pipes may also be suspect for Alzheimer's.
 
There was an article in New Scientist ages ago where they were examining a group of nuns who never got alzheimers, despite living for ages.

They were investigating dietary/alcohol/drugs under the presumption that the clean living of the nuns might be protecting their brains.

Were shocked when they did brain scans, and found swiss cheese in intelligent lucid women.

The difference was that they had no idjit box and spent their time reading, doing crosswords in groups, playing board games and doing craft.

The premise was that the continued exercise of the brain will build paths around damaged areas.

I haven't known too many old guys in a fully equipped shed to degrade into babbling dribblers (become eccentric certainly, but still able to reason, build etc.), but have known quite a few "retirees" develop vegetative states.
