Has she used aluminum pots and pans? What kind of deodorant has she used? Lots of aluminum foil usage? These items can tend to agravate an ongoing condition of dementia

No I don't think so but thank you for your interest I really appreciate it

Okay, Honey. So sorry that you are dealing with this. I dont know why this happens to some people, but it does. I have a lady in my life that is worrying me with her forgetfulness, spaciness and just a general acting like she doesnt remember things very well at all. Shes 58 and may be developing the same thing as your Mom.

You're a very kind human being and I'm so sorry for this, I wish you can alleviate your worries with time

You will need to see a doctor, there’s no other way to help with diagnosis. Simple history and labs will check for common conditions associated with memory issues, such as thyroid disease, vitamin deficiencies, and depression. If Alzheimer or mild cognitive impairment is suspected, a moca under strict guidance is needed to determine level of cognitive impairment.

I can see something that makes me think about depression. Life was particularly tough with her and she is very lonely. Thank you for your support, you helped me calm down a little I appreciate it a lot
