Hmm, two years ago I was diagnosed with “Alzheimer'” - now, two years later, my doctors are certain that I don't have Alzheimer'.
I've also never felt like I had Alzheimer.

As we get older, and all of us (the 'lucky ones') do, we become apprehensive about our general decline; physically, mentally and cognitively, and for most, if not all of us, one of the greatest fears is Alzheimer’s or Dementia, the need for care and the potential burden on our families.

You must have had a terrible experience living with the diagnosis and, now, the realisation that it is a misdiagnosis. Your family will also have been through the mill.

I hope this new diagnosis lifts you and your family and friends, and that your future health is much improved because of this.

Best wishes.

I really feel for you, my health journey of the last 9 months has made me appreciate the fragility of life in a most comprehensive way from feeling like I could live forever with huge physical vitality to being reduced to the conviction that as I lay my head down to sleep each night that it would be my last sleep and I would not arise the next day.
It really changes your perspective of life as I am sure your has now too.

Curious, did they change any of your medications?
