[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S. My father was "diagnosed" with dementia when it was an UTI. I insisted that he be tested, then treated for that, and lo and behold, he was perfectly fine after that.

UTIs frequently present as dementia. [/quote]

That is also well known, and often repeated on these boards. You seem very, very worried about this. OP appears to have everything well in hand. Maybe you should relax.[/quote]

If she has things so well in hand then why is she posting here?
You seem triggered by me not just saying, Yep, old, worried, dementia. Done!

Also, you saying UTIs presenting as dementia is well-known, then why did the ER I took my dad to quick to say dementia and hospice. He is now back to driving and playing tennis. Of course this is anecdotal, but I simply object how there is a/some poster/s here who everything is diagnosed: Dementia.

Also, I would have no problem with someone saying: Look into dementia. But the pronouncement of dementia to me is irresponsible when the poster is saying it to people who are in a vulnerable state dealing with the stress of an elderly relative. How is it even possible to be certain of that when it is an internet conversation with very few facts available. It's guessing. And that can be dangerous to someone who is vulnerable.[/quote]
