@SusanEllen66 Have you talked yet with your psychologist about your cognitive tests and your worries about vascular dementia?

The functions of the cerebellum include coordinating gait and balance. It is not directly involved in cognitive function such as memory but it is involved in coordinating the muscles having to do with speech articulation.

You shared that you see a neurologist. Have you talked with the neurologist about your results?

Yes, the neurologist is aware that I see a psychologist. I share information amongst all my doctors.

I’m currently in the middle of multiple MRIs, MRA, and cognitive testing including the dreaded psychological test. I’ll be done the end of the week. My follow up appointment with my neurologist isn’t until January.

I was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment more than 2 years ago. The balance issue is just another part of the equation. My eyesight has become worse, and my ophthalmologist said there is nothing he can do about that. I have double vision, and my neurologist said my eyes bounced when I was trying to follow his finger. Go figure…

I live alone. That is my choice but I know that will have to change.
