Don’t we all know someone called Whatsisname? And, aren’t most gadgets in the kitchen called Thingamabobs? And when I open the refrigerator for heaven knows what, aren’t I sure that heaven knows and it’s just me that doesn’t?

Yes, it happens to all of us, but once in a while we all wonder if we have Alzheimer’s. Don’t we?

2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. You see changes in your ability to develop or follow a plan, such as following the directions for a familiar recipe. Or you find it difficult to track monthly bills.
