Hello @Lolly53 and welcome to the dementia support forum. I am sorry to read about your concerns that your husband's condition is getting worse. You could try contacting the memory clinic but if they are not able to offer you an early appointment then I would suggest that you contact his GP.

Hi @Lolly53 and welcome to the forum.

My husband was undergoing assessment at the memory clinic in 2013 when he had a cardiac arrest in the December. It happened at home so I as was able to resuscitate him until the ambulance arrived. Then in the next July in 2014, he was diagnosed with atypical Alzheimer’s.

Too long a story for here but he was considered to be non diagnosed in 2020. The consultant vaguely blamed the original diagnosis on the cardiac arrest but he was already considered to have MCI long before that. I still think he didn’t really know what sort of dementia my husband had.

I hope that you can get some help soon.
