My hubby diagnosed 2 and a half years ago, hasn't seen a specialist since 2011. This is because he refuses to go. Like he refused to go doctors when we first suspected something was wrong and like he refuses to do anything else if he doesn't like it. I know not to take it personally I am just letting off steam. He is still on Aricept which he has been on since 2010. It doesn't seem to be doing anything for him. He can't talk now without slurring quite badly and is getting harder to understand. He also drags his left leg and has now had a couple of falls. His right hand shakes and he jerks all the time. Today we went to our GP as a few people have asked me if he has Parkinsons as well. GP says he could have Parkinsons but we would need to see neurologist at hospital. If Parkinsons they may be able to help with his leg. Hubby didn't understand what doctor was saying just got really angry at me that I was talking to the doctor! As he can't talk properly I don't know what he expects. My daughter who is getting married this year has proposed we buy a house together so that I can afford to go part time and that we can all help look after him . She is also trying to get flexi time at work so she can spend more time with him at home. We are all bending over backwards to help him but it never seems enough. He has refused to eat or speak to me since we got back from the doctors this morning. Grrrrr!!
