Hello
My story so far....
After banging on many doors for well over two years with my concerns about my Mum and many visits to A&E with various collapses which after about the 5th time resulted in a scan, I finally got the GP to listen to me and got her referred to the memory clinic. My Mum had her diagnosis about two months ago (Vascular Dementia). Now we have the diagnosis, the memory clinic have signed her off but have referred me to The Alzheimers Society. I could have cried when they called me to arrange a home visit for a chat which is happening tomorrow. I finally felt someone understood and was prepared to help me after being left to my own devices for so long.
Reading many of your posts, oh my goodness, if felt like I had written many of them myself with all your experiences and I look forward to becoming part of this forum. Although I have been dealing this for a while, I know I have a longer road to travel as many of you have and are still going through.
Thank you in advance.
