Hi DM I hope that you are feeling relaxed after your time off work and that your symptoms have lessened. Please post to let us know how you are.
Hi there,
Feeling better, thanks. Symptoms have lessened considerably, although they are still there.
The blood and other tests the doctor carried out showed no abnormalities and, while she obviously wasn't specifically looking for dementia. I've come to the point where I have to get on with my life and hope that by doing so the symptoms will continue to reduce in frequency.
I've been referred to counselling and, failing that, cognitive behavioural therapy to treat an anxiety disorder and learn to cope with stress, which my GP thinks combined to send me into a state where not only did I believe I had PPA or something similar but I was genuinely experiencing the symptoms.
I hope no one here thinks I have wasted their time. I found all your kind words to be very reassuring and they helped me get over what appears to have been a minor breakdown.
