Other than neurologists, have you considered seeing a psychiatrist / psychogeriatrician / geriatrician about it?
strangely no, I haven't. 🙂

Just a thought.

There's no set age to start seeing a geriatric doctor and shrinks aren't just for crazy people.

Not on the table right now.

Get.On.The.Table.

they'll ask about stress/anxiety/depression/etc, as well as physical injuries past and recent, alcohol/drugs, family medical history, among a shitload of other questions I'm sure. at least I hope they will entertain all avenues and not just look at his brain from one angle and go 🙂👆 "have a nice day! next patient!".

*edit* whirly i'm sure i don't need to tell you this, and that you already did, but hey you never know: acquire those brain imaging files and bring them with you to Dubai. if you have older ones, bring those too

Hopefully there’s nothing physical and maybe it’s just that you’re prolly going through some stressful difficult times? Could be stress from work? Relationships, kmc forums?

Relax... I'm sure everything will be fine.

Whirly's real problem is that he needs to realize he's a man in his fifties; not a teenager anymore.

But he'll sooner hack this forum and proclaim himself Raz II rather than even attempt to take it easy on himself vin

I thought Whirly was going to be a boxer who defeats racists and homophobes whilst singing "gonna fly now!"

so ignore new self-observed cognative issues if you're older than 50? I'm sure you're just being amusing and that's not intended as good advice. the acceptance stage should be reserved for if/when it's determined to be irreversible

That was probably his plan before he started watching Superman & Lois 🙁

I can't ignore it that's for sure something isn't right I found my coffee cup in the fridge in the apartment alone... funny but not funny, if you know what I mean.

I've done similar silly things... usually In a mad rush out the door in the morning. don't know why those incidents always involved the kitchen. Not trying to normalize it, since it's particularly concerning that you have no memory of how the cup got in the fridge.

Still no official diagnosis?

Scans are being looked at by a specialist now. Had to come back here off to the UK as soon as work let's up for further tests.
