Hi everyone. Im feeling a bit low and confused at the moment. My husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia in Dec 2015 he is only 44 and has a lot of other conditions to deal with aswell he is also registered blind. When we first got his dementia diagnosis we both felt devastated and it took a while for it to sink in but lately we've been trying to deal with it with the help and support from alzhemiers UK. My husband also has epilepsy but his neurologist who deals with this has been really off with us. When we told him about the diagnosis his reply was " huh I don't think so in a man of his age " in a sarcastic tone . He has sent my husband for a load more scans and different tests and we have just been called into see our gp today about these tests. The tests have come back the same as before showing atrophy and thickness in the brain ( not sure what this means) but the neurologist is still saying he does not believe it's dementia where the other consultant who diagnosed my husband is standing by the dementia diagnosis. The doctor also told us today that the neurologist has requested my husband to have a test for HIV as he wants to rule this out which we have declined and already know it definitely is not this . The bottom line is we have been through so much this past couple of years with everything going on and my husband is so depressed with it all he just feels like an object to keep testing on rather than a human being and I'm struggling to keep a smile on my face. We have to go back to see the neurologist tomorrow and were dreading what he's going to say to us this time ( he has no nice communication skills) . Just wondering if anybody else has been through anything similar with a diagnosis or any advice to how to deal with all this different information. I just want it all to stop at the moment . Thankyou for reading xx
