I'm a little worried
that I may be developing dementia. I am unsure of my family history on my father's side. On my mother's side, my mom has mental illnesses, so knowing if she has dementia is not easy. My maternal grandmother died in her 50's. My maternal grandfather is 96 years old and sharp as a tack. My maternal great-grandparents both had atherosclerosis. This caused many strokes in my great-grandmother and 2 heart attacks in my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather developed dementia due to this in his late 60's. Both my great-grandparents had familial type 3 hyperlipoproteinemia and Familial Hypertriglyceridemia. My father and his parents also had Familial Hypertriglyceridemia. I have both disorders, too.😔
I figured I would have issues in my 70's or 80's, but I will only be 60 this month. However, yesterday, I forgot how to zip my coat. I don't have health insurance until I turn 65, so until then, I am going to become very serious about my diet, and I will be researching what I can do to slow this down. I have a teeny tiny hope that yesterday was just a bad day, but I have been zipping my own coat since I was 3 years old. Today, I zipped my coat with no trouble. I did get a concussion from being rear-ended at a stoplight on October 21st last year. Maybe this has something to do with that.🤷♀
