My husband had an appointment at Cleveland Clinic yesterday

We saw a neurologist, but not the neuropsychologist. Have they done an MRI? Ruled out anything unusual looking on MRI? A mini psych eval? Do they or the PC believe it’s vascular or Alz? I ask because meds really helped my dad. The behavior is really the most challenging part, imo. The repeating, obsessing, fixations, etc, can really be exasperating. Try to get support so you can take breaks and recharge your energy.

I am curious about meds given for early Alzheimer's. Comments?

Thanks. He has had a Brain MRI. Ultrasound for the Carotid arteries. Sleep study.
We started all of this last November with a neurologist.
The appointment with the neuropsychologist was final test before the neurologist gathered all of the test results.
Unfortunately, my husband's anxiety level has accelerated with these appointments.

I'm lucky to have support from my sisters. I'm one of five girls. My dear husband and myself of 47 years were not able to have children. I have an awesome tribe to keep me grounded.
