Diagnosis
Hi Dave, sorry to hear about your wife. Its a hard thing to deal with.
I am trying to get a diagnosis at present for my dad. I feel some of the things he is having trouble with are consistent with mid stage Alzheimers, though other things he is still good with, like speaking, language etc.
Would you mind giving me an idea of what your wife is having difficulties with and how a diagnosis was obtained?
This is all a learning curve for me. I've never been close with my dad but I am the only person around that can try and help him. He is in complete denial but is starting to realise something isn't quite right, though will not admit it.
Hi my wife thinks she is ok.just forgetting things now and again.
The truth is getting worse by the week puts clothes on inside out won't go in the shower
Whets herself then try's to hide her underwear not interested in cleaning herself or the house.
I could go on all day but I think you get the gist
Diagnosis
Doctors first blood test, blood pressure ,mental test failed,put on folic acid tabs.
Doctors again moor blood tests,referred to sychiatris,3 hour talk and memory test again
Refers to consultant at queens med cent Nottingham Dr Junaid memorie test again

Folow up nurse coming today to see how she is doing on tablets
I hope this helps
Now got to try and get her out of bed and into the shower before the nurse arrives
Good luck be persistent with doctors
