@sunnygardens What I find with this disease is a lot of denial. My neighbor tried to convince me his wife had some aging memory loss when she was in the middle to late stages of Alzheimers. That was really sad to watch. And why, I mentioned to you earlier, I wouldn't ask his friends, anything. That just raises a flag, gets others involved who you will find, will turn the other cheek (for the most part) and not want to be involved. I think that Nurse Practitioner you mentioned is your shoe-in. So leverage her for help. Then you can figure out, what you do, where you go, what legal help you may need since you're not married, and I'm not sure you're thinking about any caregiving at this point. When you don't know what you don't know, it's really hard to figure out what to do. Trust your gut. I think you know, you need to at least get help in getting him to a doctor for some diagnosis. I say this all the time, probably more for me.....courage to take on what we need to do, clarity to know what to do and when, and God's light in helping us work through it all. Best, Karla
