Hello @Andykirk sorry to hear that you seem to be getting mixed messages from the memory nurse, it's not good when things aren't made clear. Perhaps a call to your GP to ask about your test results will help?

I am sorry that this happened to you. Those tests are only an indicator and can be a bit dodgy when it comes to a diagnosis.

Certainly, the nurse had no right to get your hopes up and that must be awful for you.

I would contact your GP to discuss this to see how things stand for you. I assume your original diagnosis was made on the basis of considerable testing and that maybe a more reliable medical opinion for you.

i had my other scores which had been 78 and the last one 72 but this one at 90 the nurses was bouncing around the room saying i did not need there service ,and even with me sending a text to her asking why shes not been in contact , still no reply from her , my dementure carea i see every thursday said it was not for her to say this but to show the main specilitsts my score and for him to investagate it

Hello @Andykirk

Have you told your doctor about the difference in the scores? Your doctor could be asked to sort it for you.
