Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Once your doctor says that this is your imagination, then it is. If you want to be diagnosed as having memory problems, it needs a series of tests or events which confirms this. One or two stray events cannot tag you as memory loss patient. You are going to have the MRI because you insisted, not because the doctor is convinced. Everyone forgets so many things. that is why people keep things in writing. Those who are busy mentally or physically do forget. that is not a disease, whereas it is a healthy symptom.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
