How Can Dementia Be Treated?

I have something wrong with me. I have a rare form of dementia, that, I been taking tests in Moncton and St. John for almost 4 or 5 years now, still no diagnosis. (I noticed it a long time before that). It’s getting worst now. I have most of my memory, but, I can’t talk so well any more, and I have a hard time walking (I walk out of balance now). It was gradual at first but now it is getting worst. I had a stroke in Dec. 2016 which complicated things for the Drs. and it has been going downhill ever since then. I don’t drive anymore and I miss it. I had cataract surgery a month ago (Jan 14th for one eye) and the other on Feb. 8th. I see 20/20 you of both eyes but I can’t see close up. I had prims for double vision about 2 years ago and I had trifocals so I could see close up. I’ve developed Double Vision again. My Dr. told me to bring in 0 perception glasses in so they could put prisms on them for my double vision. (She just told me that on Feb. 8th. Then again on Feb. 9th.) I hope they can put my trifocals on these so I can see close up. I’m going to Halifax on Mar. 27 for a 6hr. appointment with 2 Drs. Hope they will give me a diagnoses then because I have waiting for one a long time. It took me a long time to write this – (about 2 hours and a half) this is why I don’t too much anymore.
