Hi everyone, I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with dementia when I was 24. I want to tell everyone that my symptoms are about 90 % reversed. The doctors of course tried every test imaginable and everything was normal. I later researched pernicious anemia and took that info to a different doctor. He was very open to it and started me on treatment immediately. My blood results did not show that I was pernicious anemic. However, when the treatment started to deminish the symptoms we concluded that that was the culprit. I went from worrying about my son not having a mom who would remember him by the time I was 30 to someone that now has only minute memory problems. I recently did a paper on this disease and recorded my full story at the end of it. I would be happy to email this to anyone who is interested. It took two months of treatment to see major changes but only one treatment to begin to see the small changes. I really feel like I am supposed to help others. I really know a lot about this disease and would be happy to talk to anyone who thinks they may have it. It is more common that doctors realize and it's rare in the younger generations. However, since it is so overlooked it might just be your answer to the cause of your dementia.
