Have you been diagnosed with Anosognosia ?
In the following analysis the French Professor Bruno Dubois Director of the
Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA)
at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospitals / addresses the subject in a rather
reassuring way:
"If anyone is aware of his memory problems, they do not have
Alzheimer's."
1. I forget the names of families ..
2. I do not remember where I put some things ..
It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that
they lack memory. "The information is always in the brain, it is the
"processor" that is lacking."
This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.
Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age
rather than disease.
The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going
there,
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys ...
After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that
it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years ...
Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance
of the following statement:
"Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem
of memory."
"Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware
of what is happening."
Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of
people concerned about their oversights:
"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to
suffer from memory sickness."
Now for a little neurological test: Only use your eyes!
1- Find the C in the table below!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2- If you have already found the C, then find the 6
in the table below.
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
69999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
3- Now find the N in the table below.
Attention, it's a little more difficult!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
If you pass these three tests without a problem:
- you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
- your brain is in perfect shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.
So, share this with your over-55 friends, it can reassure them..
