My memory impairment journey

Jan 12, 2021 (Chapter 1 Symptoms & Diagnosis and Chapter 6 Living with a Memory Impairment in my book)

In 2005, at age forty-seven I was misdiagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease (EOAD). A few months later, a second neurologist changed my diagnosis to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This was confirmed in 2014 by a neuro psychologist and the results of a neuropsychological evaluation. I’m grateful that after fifteen years, it has not progressed to dementia.
