Brain injury white matter, encephalopathy, and encephalitis

Thank you for leads. I will follow-up.
My KC neurologist diagnosed me with Alzheimer's, but the neurosurgeon in Kansas City said that it was NPH after my laminectomy. He didn't know why I had NPH, but speculated that it was associated with the various concessions I've had over the years. I have no confidence at all with the various neurologists that I've met in Memphis, Are there any that you would suggest? Thank you!

Hello @stephenluptak
Many of us who post on Connect have had similar stories of being misdiagnosed or misunderstood by doctors and we can understand how frustrating it is. I know that you must feel frustrated because of all of the conflicting diagnoses you have received. I can only add to what has already been said that a second opinion would be your best option right now.
You definitely need to talk to a medical center (like Mayo) who can sort through all of your tests, medical records and talk with you to help you find an answer. Does this sound like a good idea to you as well?
