I'm Getting Re-Tested For Dementia

Tweet

I've known for about 8 years that I have Mild Cognitive Impairment with pre-early onset dementia. It's been 7 years since I was tested, so it was time for a recheck. It's done with a neuropsychologist and it's a series of 3 visits. The first visit, which I had today, was an evaluation and history and information session for one hour. Next week I'm having appointment #2 which is the actual testing, which can take 3-5 hours. Then the following week is the follow-up appointment where I get the results. I feel like I'm "slipping" or "regressing" a little bit. I do take two Dementia medications and have been for 8 years. I'm curious to see how I stand compared to prior tests.
