Has anyone had the CANTAB cognitive test with their gp at all? Just wondering what your thoughts were on this. My memory is poor and I failed the test. Wondered uf it might be RA related?

    Hello English Rose,

    I have a very fit and healthy friend, almost 80, with quite a bad memory, which worries her.  I think it happens to lots of older people. Mine manifests itself occasionally with names of people or places, but it's pretty good in my day-to-day life with appts., etc. etc. I did a Cognitive Test online -  aimed at the 50-70s but, at 82, I didn't do very well at all.  Speed in doing the test was my downfall   As I was a bit concerned, I went to see my GP but she told me not to worry about it as she thinks I'm still very 'with-it'.  Fingers crossed it lasts!  I suspect if we're tired or stressed, our memory is worse so try not to sorry too much.
