How can a few simple questions be used to diagnose such a difficult disease.
And seriously - all she missed was the math question. But it was a hard question! She would have probably missed it even if she wasn't sick. She is notoriously bad at math!
My brother is furious. What a stupid diagnosis. He thinks maybe if she was on anti depressants her symptoms would all go away. Could be true - depression can mask itself as Alzheimer's.
Her friends call me in disbelief. Clearly she has been misdiagnosed.
I call a friend who owns an Elder Home Care company in Dallas. We talk through some of the issues. She gives me the name of a highly recommended Neurologist.
I call to make an appointment. I begin to research. I feel like information might be the only key to understanding what is going on.
