There seems to be quite a problem for people who support people who do not have a diagnosis of dementia but who are experiencing significant memory loss, change in personality, self care issues etc. With a diagnosis it is relatively easy for other family and friends to understand, however, without a diagnosis it is so difficult to explain that the person has some issues but no one knows why. I have already discussed this with a few lovely people on this site and I am no longer as angry!
I am going to bring up something I had forgotten about. My husband’s STM problem started suddenly when he started taking Apixoban for AF. We changed to Rivaroxiban then back to Warfarin with no effect. He then stopped taking statins and after a couple of weeks he came back. It was amazing. He understood what had happened and was his old self. However, after a few weeks, he slowly regressed. He never became as bad as the worst time but his memory and self care declined.
My main issues are with the medical people who just do not inspire confidence.
