in I Am Living With Alzheimer's or Other Dementia

Maybe someone has had this diagnosis information and can weigh in. I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in early 2022. My MRI showed moderate shrinkage on the left side of my brain. I am wondering why shrinkage would only be on one side.

    This would be a great question to ask your doctor.

    This is something that I have no idea about. I would ask your doctor about it. If your concerned, possibly use the patient portal to ask the question. I'm curious too about the answer.
