Annual visit to Florida neurologist.
March 23, 2021
I have three neurologists.
Dr. Elliott made my diagnosis in Dec. 2017.
Dr. Swerdlow is my KUMC Research center neurologist. He entered me into my non-treatment study. I have had three years of scans with the study but I am not told the results.
I have a neurolgist close to home in Topeka.
Dr. Elliott gave me some good news. There should be an IV infusion given once a month to take away the amyloid plaques.
I am thinking I will continue all of the ReCode medication I am already taking.
I told Dr. Elliott about my subdural. He was very concerned as I am on an anticoagulant.
I told him about my festination.
He did a foot tapping test with which I did poorly.
He then stood behind me and did a “pull test” to see how quickly recovered. It was clear to him I was having problems similar to Parkinsonism, which I don’t have but enough neurons have been compromised by my Alzheimers to cause similar symptoms.
He asked me to walk in the pool 30 minutes three times a week.
This is my link to my visit last year with
This year he didn’t do a MOCA as he felt it wasn’t sensitive enough.
I told him I have more extensive testing at KUMC Memory center. He asked me to send me the results of those tests.
I remember when I had a finger tapping test at one cognitive test in 2017. I thought I had done well. The tester said 80 year old men could do better.
The Big News was a new drug coming out this June.
