A diagnosis would be so useful.
It might be worth listing all the behaviours that cause you concern and putting them in a post, and seeing if any readers recognise them and what diagnosis was then made. (Perhaps a more unusual type of dementia)
If you had a few best guesses to discuss with the doctors it may help lead them to prescribing the correct scan?
Some of the people that post have some amazing dementia knowledge.
A diagnosis would make it difficult for his company to dismiss him. They may be forced to ‘make adjustments in the workplace’.
A diagnosis would help get PIP if he isn’t working.
It is also possible that a diagnosis will get a reduction of his community charge?
So don’t be afraid to be pushy with the doctors!
Some of the symptoms within the workplace ( according to his employer) forgetting conversations, repeating tasks, struggling to engage in conversations, quiet in meetings, sometimes not turning up for meetings. All these things are in stark contrast to his previous behaviours within the workplace, he has a high functioning job in the public sector. At home very apathetic, quite cold to our children and myself. Has seen me as a problem in this situation. Doesn’t seem to have a clue of the stress this situation is causing us or myself.
Evidence of repeating conversations or forgetting things we speak about. If I ask a question that requires a yes or no I rarely get it as he repeats with a regurgitation of the question I’ve asked so having a normal conversation is exhausting. It’s like he’s checking out of the adult world.
The atrophy on his scan was considered normal for his age and is located in the cortical area and some mild cerebellar atrophy too.
I don’t know if this is all very general but would be interesting to know what you experienced members think 🙏I’m finding the changes subtle on occasions and then very obvious other times. Completely exhausting. Think the view off employer was if there was a diagnosis they may consider ill health retirement.
