Diagnosed with mild dementia so what should I expect in future?

That is surprising. Have you checked with practices that deal with memory/ mood? I have found that a good osteopath is a great doc to work with from a full systems view. They will sometimes be more open to ordering tests.
The neurocognitive (neuropsych) tests are non invasive.
You don’t have to share this if you dont want to - what did the docs say when you brought this testing up?

Good advice. I had all the testing done years ago, but not recently, except for the one where you have to remember 3 things, which I failed massively. [I didn't quiite say "woman, man, television", but close! :} ] I think if I am referred to a clinic here (Seattle), I will no doubt have to go through them all again. Yes, they're a pain, but it will be interesting to find out what's changed. Unfortunately, though, clinics from the 1990s don't usually keep their old records that long. Anyway, I'm hoping for the best!
