Newly diagnosed AD and living alone

NotDeadYet2023

Too pooped to write, but had new labs from my new Neurologist (thank You, again, Jesus). No one has ever checked my A1c ... he is. But the 5th test and most interesting, which after all the neurology appoints before him I'd never seen: Beta Amyloid 42/40 Ratio lab test. I'll let you know what the results are.

Have you had one of these before? With His love, Nancy 😀

This test is new to me.

Goodness ... it's March 25th ... I'm so sorry I've been gone so long. Struggling with my health and all my tests and appointments. Phew. I do have Alzheimer's disease. Last PET Brain scan due today but my wonderful new Neurologist just called to follow up the lab test results and I have an appointment tomorrow to go over everything. Am I the first survivor of Alzeimer's? I don't think so ... but I pray for God's will in my life. Especially this Holy Week.

I hope you're okay. I'm so sorry I'm so worthless with this after all.

Well, pretty much got my confirmation of AD. That's okay. I'm glad to know and I'm trusting in the Lord. My brand new Neurologist (thank You, Jesus) just called me!!! 😂 Do you believe it? The results of my last labs just confirmed AD to him. And with my latest PET Brain scan results due today, he scheduled a follow up appointment for tomorrow ... can you believe that? Rather than the one I already have scheduled in May. I am blessed and highly favored. Don't mean to be overly joyful, but last week I also had a new patient appointment with my brand new PCP Internal Medicine doc. I am soooooooooooooooooooo relieved to have two warm, loving, thorough, caring doctors now with AD. Wow. Thank You, Jesus.

I'm just exhausted already at 10:30 AM EST. So I'm closing for now. I sure turned out to be an awful participant in this group. I'm so sorry and I pray for you all.
