Hi @janet7, my husband was diagnosed withe Alzheimer's Disease about three years ago by a neurologist and neuropsychologist. He had an MRI and a full day of neuropsychological testing which was exhausting for him. He had those tests because I noticed he was using words differently and withdrawing from social activities. Other than for Alzheimer's, his health is good (he broke his hip about three months ago, but is recovering nicely). You mentioned that your husband has dementia. I'm wondering why knowing if he has Alzheimer's would be helpful. Would there be more opportunities for drugs that could help him? Wishing you the best, Teri

I want to find out if he has Alzheimer’s for several reasons: I need to know if there are meds that might be helpful for his Dementia and what care he needs if he does have it. I would like to know if I am giving him the care he needs and maybe enroll him in a study with experimental meds.
