I've been feeling like my short term memory and concentration have been getting worse for a while now. But with so many Dr's offices and clinics being closed due to Covid, I didn't follow up.


But recently, I made some significant errors in taking my meds which scared me, so I called my GP. She asked me some question and agreed with me that it probably warranted looking into. So she's referred me to a memory clinic.

I have no idea when I'll be able to get an appointment. But I do want to find out what's going on, if for no other reason than to have a baseline for going forward.

You are doing the right thing getting checked out and hope you won't have to wait too long for an appointment.

Well, first SNAFU hit. The clinic she referred me to, won't take me as I don't meet their criteria, so now she's referred me to a different clinic that's in a hospital. So it may take a while to get in, since most hospitals are limiting out patient visits.

Hopefully you'll get in before months. It's great that you're addressing the memory issue!
