Thanks for your message. He had MRI when first diagnosed about 2 years ago which showed some plaque. He also had 2 hour evaluation which cost way too much money and insurance not covered I asked neurologist if he should get another MRI and she said not now. I will ask her this week when I talk to her.
What is a lumbar puncture? Never heard of this?

A Lumber Puncture is a sample taken from the spine It is used to determine diagnosis. My husband had done. He was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia with positive Bio markers for Alzheimers. It is a fairly new test. It helped us in knowing what my husband is dealing with.
