Thank you so much for sending this . Right now I am trying to hold myself together. I think since I know that this is indeed the problem, everything has gotten worse , if that makes any sense.
I am in a panic because I don't have a doctor. The doctor I saw for less that 30 minutes who ordered the blood tests was abrupt, cold and indifferent and said if I wanted she would prescribe the Donepezil. So the first thing I must do is find another doctor. My pcp is at UCLA so I will try to get an appointment there. The scary thing is I have no family near at all who can help me. So that is a big worry. There seems to be a dramatic worsening of symptoms the last few days ..... forgetting things, even typing an email last night I made countless errors because my fingers kept getting on the wrong keys- that's something that has just begun. I am making countless errors and have to back up and retype. I am wondering if my panic is doing this or what is going on. Very frightening. I think I will have to get some anxiety med if this continues. I am in a very bad place right now .

My husband who suffers AD dementia, and I live in NY, and found excellent behavioral care neurology physician at Mayo in MN. Following testing, we are now communicating via tele appointments which work out very well. Good luck to you…
