An Alzheimer’s Patient’s Advice

About a year ago, the Register published an essay I wrote about having Alzheimer’s or as I call it, ALZ.

One thing to remember is Alzheimer’s has become a generic term covering many forms of dementia. I have seen three neurologists, at Mayo Clinic and in Des Moines, and have come away somewhat confused as different neurologists have given me different opinions ranging from mild cognitive impairment to vascular dementia to Stage 1 Alzheimer’s.
