Amyloidosis itself does not directly cause dementia or memory loss. However, there is a connection between amyloidosis and dementia. Amyloidosis involves the abnormal buildup of amyloid proteins in various organs, which can lead to organ damage. In Alzheimer's disease, a type of dementia, amyloid deposits are found in the brain, but it has not been proven that amyloidosis directly causes dementia.

I certainly do not have memory problems… mine are all physical, in particular, difficulty breathing. Can manage all other problems as I’ve had do many of them for a long time. It’s very hard to work out which issue is amyloidisis or a separate entity.
Spinal stenosis = severe back pain
Neuropathy = dead feet and legs
Pins and Needles= cervical osteotomy
Constipated
Severe breathing difficulties
Carpal tunnel surgery
You name it I’ve been there !
