Hi folks
Despite already expecting a dementia diagnosis. I have mixed emotions about the outcome. Pleased that something is wrong !!! yet tearful and anxious about the future ( I have had 2 years of erratic behaviour) In fact as we went to the clinic my thoughts were if nothing is wrong with him “I’m leaving “ The diagnosis fits his symptoms exactly although he is 77 years old which according to the info is old for this type of Dementia. His right temporal lobe is badly damaged causing changes in his behaviour. OH thinks nothing is wrong with him. His apathy and lack of empathy has been really hard to deal with. He was a kind loving husband and father and I miss him. Other behaviours which I don’t really feel I can discuss with you all have caused me considerable distress. I wrote to the consultant and explained my difficulties and I am now just hoping for some medication to curb this behaviour. I am seeing the consultant independently next week so fingers crossed
My mind is over active worrying, planning and trying really hard to distract myself
