Hi All
Its been a while since i posted anything so apologies for not being around.
A lots been happening with various hospital tests etc. i also had an emergency gall bladder removal a couple of weeks ago so that was just another 'hitch'.
anyway, im a wee bit confused today as to whats going on. on friday i went to see my psychiatrist for a follow up appt. he was lovely and said according to them they think i have early onset dementia but until all the scans etc are done they wont know for sure but he hopes i dont have it as many of you know i am only 45 with a very young family. (daughter has just turned 3). I also have an appt on monday with my 4th neuropsychologist and this will be our first meeting.
well, today i received another psychiatry appointment and i phoned them to say as far as i was aware the psychiatry dept had discharged me from their care as i dont have any psychiatric problems. The woman on the phone said she would check and call me back. she phoned a wee while ago to say i was correct but i would be receiving another referral appt and when i asked her what that was for she said the early onset dementia team.
as far as i am aware i havent actually formally been diagnosed so why am i seeing the early onset team. as far as im aware they only see you when you have been diagnosed. sorry for the ramble but my head is a bit up my ass at the moment and im shaking all over. not sure this thread makes much sense and apologies for that.
just confused and scared.
Hoping you are all well.
