really? you follow my posts .... thank you for showing an interest. at this stage i dont really want to go into full details so publicly. i was just looking through to see if there were any possibility. i am jut a bit deflated at the moment. but basically his sudden ability to go about everyday life now i have said i will no longer be his carer.Ive been following your posts @silver'lantern . What makes you now think that he has been wrongly diagnosed?
Just had a look at relevant CQCThe particular unit where this man was diagnosed is nurse led. This is where I took my mum, the nurse does the tests and interviews, shows notes to doctor who prescribes……we never saw a doctor!
My husband was originally diagnosed with atypical Alzheimer’s on 8th July, 2014. In December last year he was considered by the consultant to be non diagnosed. I believe that my husband has some form of dementia and I have always thought that the consultant didn’t really know what was wrong in all the years he was treating him. He has had extensive testing twice, three years apart, by a highly qualified neuropsychologist and that revealed worsening cognitive defects.well...I cant believe seeing this here today. I had come on to ask the question.... 'Is it possible to get wrong diagnosis!' I am beginning to wonder if the person I am/was carer for really has dementia. Or certainly not at the level he had been suggesting. i am ata a loss and feel totally hoodwinked and taken for a mug
