I am the caregiver for my husband of 45 years. I fell in love with him when I was 13. Love at first sight! A few years back, my son that worked with him noticed some little changes. We went to a neurologist then and he didn't think it was Alzeheimers. We followed up a doctor visit 2 years ago and he said the same thing. You're fine, but let's put you on a CPap. Last year we went again, right after my husband retired in March, and by then I was seeing small things that cropped up in his figuring out problems, here and there. Once again, after the 7 question test and chat, he said he thought he was fine. That's when our family doctor, a personal friend called the neurologist back and convinced the neurologist he wasn't "fine."He has Early Stage and is taking both normal meds for AD. But I wasn't happy with the confusing care we got in our town, so I had him evaluated by a psychcologist here, and we decided to seek care at UTSouthwestern in Dallas. What a difference! I know there is no cure, but they have done so much more than just let us just sit here a waste away. They gave us a top notch neurologist. She suggested a drug trial that he might enter down the road. She sent him to an endocrinologist he needed and by persevering, we got into a drug trial for Aducanumab this month. I've learned that since I've loved him so long I have to be the best advocate I can. He's been a prince of a husband and father. We will fight this.Thank you for all you do!
