The presenter issued the update to mark World Alzheimer's Day
The former GMTV presenter was told she had the illness a year ago after suffering months of brain fog and anxiety. The 62-year-old is now undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in the years to come.
Fiona revealed one of the symptoms she has experienced is having trouble thinking of the right word. She said: "It doesn’t happen all the time.. just occasionally. And that’s just not me at all. I can normally talk until next Christmas. It is just weird when it happens because I’m thinking, ‘why has my mouth stopped and I’m still thinking about the sentence. It’s really weird."
"I do feel a bit guilty because it’s another pressure on him but I just can’t be bothered. There are some days I can’t be bothered to do anything.. It’s partly this malaise that I’m in I suppose."
