I just tried to test my BS with my electric shaver. Doesn't work.
Found I just subscribed twice to the same charity event.
So yes, lots of memory lapses.

Hi David, like you I had and have memory problems, obviously it caused me a lot of concern so spoke to my GP about it and he arranged an apt at a memory clinic. A very nice lady came and did a home visit and after loads of tests came to the conclusion I had ME as the memory loss did not fit any other condition.

So well worth talking to your GP so your mind is put at rest.

Most definitely, it then stops you worrying and or thinking it's something age related (getting old)
