If you get an Alzheimer's diagnosis while you are alive it's a "most likely diagnosis" but not a definitive.
I agree. We are ten years into Alzheimer's with my Mom and after spending years going to different Doctors and reading everything about it that I can get my hands on, I have come to one conclusion.......NOBODY knows ANYTHING about this cruel disease!
