Early Onset Alzheimer's (I think)

The past 5 years have been crazy. First tho I say this because I think it's important and relates. When I was 2 I endured a double bone infection in legs @ military hospital. Back then children's wards weren't happy places. I was strapped bed and given 16 shots /day and kept in isolation . Parents weren't allowed there. As a 2 year old getting a shot is traumatic getting 16 of them/day while my brain was developing and maternal deprivation and being tied down did something awful to my brain. When I left that 165 day ordeal I was left with severe autism &ADHD. But tons of empathy and humility. Figure that one out. Thought that Neuro diversity was just getting worse. but now I realize it's something totally different and worse. Plus inside mouth breaking out. Teeth falling out. Muscle aches. I've been telling my family my cognitive function is declining but they said it's the other stuff. but they don't want the bd news. If I got 2 things from that double operation not too far fetched to think I could get a third and it also be brain related. Back then we were told that have short and long term effects. I get stimulants for my other issues but I have zero energy now. I don't know why I'm telling anyone this. Doesn't matter. Thanks for your time.
