[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To get an accurate diagnosis, they will have to do a brain MRI and neuropsych exam. When the results are given, a loved one should be there as well. My mom was in denial and didn’t take the results well. [/quote] Watching with interest; my MIL is STILL complaining that her *doctor* “sprung an Alzheimer’s test” on her when she went in accompanied by FIL for something else entirely. FIL called ahead w/ concerns about her obvious cognitive decline and personality changes. Doctor simply followed FIL suggestion. MIL already had MRI that showed arachnoid cyst and brain atrophy and although they’ve not had a follow up appointment yet - ILs keep insisting that “as long as it’s not Alzheimer’s…we can deal.” They’re already in denial. DH will accompany his parents at the next follow-up. [/quote]
