Misdiagnosed with early onset

[Collette]

Hi I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s in 2015 , it changed my whole life and world. In May 2018 I was told they had made an error and been misdiagnosed. I am struggling more now than I was with the diagnosis, trying to get my life back, but my mental health has suffered greatly. No one seems to be there now to help me rebuild. Has anyone else been in my position? Thanks
