my mom has been having memory issues. she is 86 and has always been in great mind. What should I do? She has had chronic lyphosytic leukeima since she was 51 and guess you would call her in remission. She has not had any chemo for 12 years. She still is very active but this memory thing is really bothering her and me. Is there some kind of food or supplement that might help.
I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. Before passing to treatment the cause of the memory loss must be sought. There are causes which may be correctable, for that some tests such as brain imaging, blood count, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function, vitamin b12 levels must be done. The most common pathologic cause of memory loss in that age is Alzheimer's disease. If that is confirmed as the cause, then it's not a question of certain foods or supplements, but treatment with cholinergic Chat Doctor. I hope to have been of help.
