Hi! I am not sure if I belong here. My name is Carine.
My husband has had symptoms of dementia for the last 7 years but no diagnosis as of yet. Not enough physical evidence to support a diagnosis. This started when he was 47 with an onset and has not been the same since. I was 44 then and did not know that it would have declined.
8 years latter, I am St my breaking point with him and the doctors. He gets an MRI every year but no physical change. When you look at the symptoms (10 of them) he has them all - some way more then others. I have 3 adult children that are very aware of the personality changes, not being able to complete tasks at times and/or takes him days to finish... he is getting aggressive now and is paranoid.
Anyone have this experience with the medical field and do you ha e any suggestions? I feel so alone on this journey.
Thank you for reading me.
