Mini-strokes...

My thoughts exactly...causing dementia and the meds aren't helping any longer.

And I hate to burst everybody's bubble, but here it is...
Diagnosing Alzheimer's
A patient's caregiver, family member or close friend may also be able to provide useful information about the patient's mental status. While this type of evaluation may provide a diagnosis of possible or probable Alzheimer’s with up to 90 percent accuracy, absolute confirmation requires examination of brain tissue at autopsy.

The person has to be dead to find out if they had it.
