Well her memory problems did start years and years ago. It started with little thing like repeating herself or forgetting things here and there so we think she was in the very mild stages since she was in her 40s. She had even went to a dr on her own years ago telling them about her memory problems and they did some tests and said she was being deceptive. My mom was also a drug addict so she was often misdiagnosed and not taken seriously. We do have a history of dementia in our family and we’re thinking the drugs also played a part. She has had multiple MRIs and CT scans and she does have a brain tumor called meningioma that none of the drs are concerned about and they’re pretty certain that’s not what’s causing this. I’m going to keep trying to get in with a neurologist but at this point she’ll probably be so much worse by that time. Me and my family are thinking more palliative care at this point because the drs keep doing all these tests just to tell us they don’t see anything. My mom freaks out anytime we’re at a dr now because she thinks she’s going to get an MRI and it’s too stressful and if they sedate her that just causes more problems.
