may i ask, how did you get diagnosed?— my husband has been tested but he was not bad enough then to receive a formal diagnosis, although they did talk a little about medicines at that time…the last testing was two years ago and he has had definite decline since then…took him to his primary care doc to arrange for testing again— but he asked my husband (because of hippa law) if he wanted testing and my husband of course said no, because he thinks (at times) that he is fine. i dont know what to do now - we have no help and no support, and my husband definitely has dementia— just doesnt have a diagnosis— all of our kids and grandkids know it too. I do not know where to turn. Ideas?

@rebeccagrover This is a little sneaky but if your husband has a patient portal you can tell your husband his doctor strongly recommends the testing, then you can use the portal to sign into his account and communicate as though you are him and indicate you want further testing and set up an appointment... what's the saying about asking for forgiveness???
