@lkbous I have the very same issues as you described above. In fact, his family tells me that he seems fine. He has some days better than others, but when he has a bad day I experience what I call “teenage girl mouth.” He challenges everything I say, gets angry and tells me I make him feel stupid. I too avoid as much as possible on these days.

He did better on the written test this last time than before, but for MCI I am not sure that paper test is always an accurate reflection of what we caregivers experience at home. Hang in there and know you are not alone.

@klsquires I started noticing my husband's decline about 5 years before the doctor did. When the doctor told me he was referring DH to a neurologist, I cried because finally I knew that it wasn't all in my own mind. The spouse sees things no one is else does.
