If I could get rid of one illness it wouldn't be just one it would be all of them as they all cause problems to me but different coeliac is because I cant eat the foods I like, then breast cancer because its frightening and nine more yrs to wait before the all clear ,then hypertension because its worrying incase I get a stroke ,migraines because it causes me to be dizzy ,then osteoporosis because I ache all over, depression PTSD low moods anxiety because all the worrying, I do ,being deaf because I have trouble hearing even with my aids ,and glaucoma because I could go blind ,and so on so I think for me it would be everything ,copd,emphysema because I cant get my breath lymphoedema because of my arm and having to wear a stocking and glove ,borderline diabetes because then I would end up blind ,and liver disease also and having gaul stones everything causes me a problem but life goes on and I have to stay positive.

The only thing that drives me mad is my memory loss. I find it so difficult to even remember my local road names, etc. If I have just had a conversation with someone I will remember them for a few days but after a week or so I see them and think "mm who is that person....?"

@Pisces67‍

Activate your mind. Do puzzles, get physical. have active social life to prevent deterioration of your memory. But most of all, talk to your GP. get early attention.

I did speak to the GP he said it's just old age. I am 52 now so I was cross. He said I just have to deal with it. I do puzzles, go to the gym and all that you mentioned but it is still the worst symptom as far as I am concerned.
