I have a problem communicating and/or finding the right word to describe an object. While frustrating, and funny at times, because of the word I use to substitute the proper word, it s beginning to scare me....just a little. This has been going on for about 15 or so years and I have now just turned 54. I also tend to multitask in thinking. In other words, I m usually thinking of at least ten to twelve things at the same time although not all of them are at the forefront of my thoughts. In addition, I am now, and have been extremely financially stressed for about 17 years and struggle and worry constantly about my financial security. I have been a cosmetologist for 31 years, however I also have worked in the nursing field from 1979 to 1990. In addition, I earned a bachelor s degree in business administration in 2006 form the University of Phoenix with a 3.9 GPA. My question is am I a candidate for early dementia because of excess proteins (like Lewy Dementia), or is my inability to recall a word when communicating caused by my mind always going on full-speed because of stress.....or both? I m a 54 year old female. Thank you.
