GMTV star Fiona Phillips has opened up on how she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, but what are the early signs of the disease that you should look out for?
Former GMTV host Fiona Phillips has shared the heartbreaking news that she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Although at first Fiona was convinced her brain fog and anxiety was the result of a particularly bad menopause, she was diagnosed with the condition 18 months ago. 2. Memory loss that disrupts daily life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the early stage, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events, asking the same questions over and over, and increasingly needing to rely on memory aids or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. This may lead to difficulty with balance or trouble reading. They may also have problems judging distance and determining color or contrast, causing issues with driving.
