Hi fleursmummy
Try not to worry yourself, I'm like that too! I'm 39 and have noticed my memory getting worse since my early 30s. Stress obviously plays an important role, if you've got a lot on your mind it's difficult to give your full attention to the tasks in hand, especially mundane ones. I don't know an awful lot about Alzheimer's, but even 'early onset' would be extremely rare in someone of your age, usually beginning to show symptoms in people in their 50s. Obviously the fact that your Grandfather was a sufferer is a concern to you, so why not have a quick chat with your GP? I'm sure this would put your mind at rest. Not sure if this is of interest to you, but taking ginseng and gingko biloba works for a lot of people, there's loads of info on the net. I've got some, but forget to take them!
