Not about my dd, but about my mum. She's 70, overweight and diabetic (due to being long-term overweight), and under incredible stress at the moment. Anyway, she's had a few episodes in the past year when she gets a strange smell in her nose (like bitter almonds, apparently), then goes all weak and gets memory loss. Today, she had five of these episodes. I was there with dd during one of them, made her sit down, and she recovered pretty quickly but is clearly not herself and kept repeating herself. She said her eyes felt really heavy afterwards. She's going to the GP on Monday, but I just wondered if anyone had come across this? It's very strange, and actually quite frightening to see her like this. She kept saying 'I can't die, I have to see my granddaughter grow up' and she's worried she might be getting alzheimers (sp?).
