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?
Never heard of poor memory being RA related. many tings are but that would be a first for me!
Oops – excuse my typos!
I just put any memory "issues" down to "senior moments"!!!!!!
There's memory problems with some people who have Lupus called the Lupus Fog
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.

Hi Rose
No so what is it all about? Read The Road Back Foundation google it. I have been on the treatment 6yrs
Its a test for memory and cognitive skills hun. its done on an ipad by the nurse usually. I said I was worried about my memory so gp organised the test. X
