Neurophysiologist nervous ???
Anyone experienced a appointment for memory loss I've been referred to have tests because the last 6 months I've been experiencing short term memory issues. The words I say are mucked up too and they are sending me to see a specialist, referred by my neurologist I just wondered should I be as nervous as I am? Just really worried anything on the topic would mean a lot thanks larissa. X
@larissajathomas , here's some detail about our problems with cognition :- https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/cognition-and-cognitive-symptoms You can be apprehensive about seeing the specialist. That would be natural, but you shouldn't be nervous. You've noticed the problem, you've spoken out and you're getting help. Well done for that. Let us know how it goes.
@larissajathomas - hi larissa. I've had terrible problems with my short term memory too and like you, get words muddled, use the wrong one or have to describe the word I need. My neurologist has just put me on medication (sorry, I can't remember the name but it begins with G) to see if it will help. It's a dementia med (I definitely don't have dementia) but he's not sure that it will work. I'll be interested to hear how you get on. All the best for your appointment. X @stumbler thank you for sharing the link. It's reassuring to know that there is a reason for it, even though I'd prefer to be 'normal'. Ali
