Hi,

 

I doubt you are headed for Alzheimer's.  You seem to be going through some normal forgetfulness associated with growing a little older -- better known as senior moments.

 

To ease your mind you might want to read this article on Fear of Alzheimer's by Dr. Vanda: http://www.healthcentral.com/caregiver/vanda-202850-5.html or visit Health Central's Alzheimer's section: http://www.healthcentral.com/caregiver/vanda-202850-5.html.

 

If you become more concerned with forgetfulness and confusion don't hesitate to contact your doctor. There are many tests know which can detect early onset of Alzheimer's.
