Looking for some advice! My mum, aged 62, has seen pysycologists and a neurologist who referred her for a brain scan and a neuropsychology assessment. These results were all supportive of an Alzheimers diagnosis and she has now been referred to the memory clinic. Only problem is, there is a 6 month wait for this. Has anyone had any experience of being able to get treatment started privately whilst transferring across to the NHS? We are at our wits end as have been told medication will help with some of the symptoms, but 6 months is a long time to wait.
Any advice on where to seek support would be greatly appreciated. We have been told my mum is still in the early onset stage but should start treatment asap. I am concerned things could get worse in the next 6 months and we will have missed out on some benefits of starting medication as early as possible.
I'm 26, so keen to also hear from other young people in a similar situation!
