I was diagnosed with early onset stage of Alzheimer's. I was diagnosed by my neurologist. I have short term memory loss. One minute I will say something and the next minute I will forget. So, if I repeat myself please overlook it.
My neurologist is doing 3 tests. The first one was a memory test. That is when he diagnosed me. The second test is Chem 2 fasting blood test. I did that this morning. The third test is a MRI. Then I will see my doctor and he will know what medicine and how much dosage I need.
Most people consider this an "in the closet" illness. I do not believe that any disease or illness should be hidden "in the closet." It is a part of me and who I am.
I thought I would tell my friends. I know that you understand.
