   Is the Dementia patient the first to know or someone else? (Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia board)

5th May 2003
Thanks, Kat. I have been to an MD who was a neurologist, supposedly one of the best diagnosticians around here in Memphis, and we have a bunch of them. Anyway, he saw nothing and said I was under too much "stress." I wanted to kill him. So something is wrong in my head, and I am getting treatment for long term chronic anxiety/ocd and depression, and some of the treatment has been helpful to clear up my head somewhat. My most troubling symptoms have been a weird kind of disorientation, an almost vertigo like sense but no vertigo. It's very hard to describe, but my concentration has been poor, my focus, and now my head feels really weird (boy, that's a helpful description, isn't it?!) Anyway, it might be my Anafranil (for the anxiety/ocd) or my ocd itself, but it sure feels like a type of dementia to me. And that is the scariest thing.

Thanks again,
steve
