Hi Kiwi, I'm bubbling around the site and maybe doubling up.lol.sorry.
I would really appreciate any help I am concerned with where my thought process, concentration, multi tasking, memory is heading. I have a Pet scan in two months to look for Alzeimer's, it worries me it could be anything serious. Thanks, Phil |

Hi Phil
No worries about "bubbling around the site" - I did the same when I first joined the community. PET scans for AD and other possible neurological issues come in various forms - I don't know which of them your care team have suggested. When the results of your scan come through, please let me know if you would like me to comment on/try to interpret them for you. That will come from my background - I am not a health professional but am a biomedical scientist whose research interests include the basis of AD. Kiwi

My GP has asked for a PET scan but who knows what the Neurologist will say when I see him. Oh well. Will let you know in a few months after the appointment.
Thanks again Phil |

Just to add to Ken's recommendation - I don't think Morton's Epsom Salt lotion is available in Australia (correct me if I'm wrong) but it can be purchased online from amazon.

bluesfan is correct. Can't buy Morton's Epsom lotion here. I've double checked just this past week for myself.

Hi Phil,
Welcome to Neurotalk! I am sorry you are experiencing difficulties. Congrats on reaching out! The PN forum here is great! There's so much information and lots of interaction as well. I, too, deal with PN. The PN forum here is the best I have found anywhere. I understand your deep concern (and anxiety) about the scan for AD. Perhaps it's not AD at all. Here's hoping! This site, in general, is tops! Hope to see you around the forum, Phil! To Our Healing, DejaVu Welcome to the NeuroTalk family! Make yourself at home! |

Hi Phil. I am new to this group but can relate to this issue. On days that my body symptom's are bad my cognitive problems increase as well. This occurs especially after a bad night. For me lack of sleep plays a big part and so do the drugs I have been prescribed. I do not know which ones you are on but for me many of them have side effects that effect my mental clarity.
