Need Treatment For Early Stage Alzheimers

Is it typical to suffer from these symptoms since I am diagnosed with early stage Alzheimers? I am a 74 year old caucasian woman and was diagnosed in 2011. Symptoms: severe fatique, lose of balance, sense that I may pass out, Lower lip fails to close enough to keep crumbs in mouth, hand tremor. These are episodes that occur as often as 10 days apart or 3 months apart. General health is fair with only diabetes II.

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy, probably caused by diabetes.

I recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude this possibility.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards, Dr. Aida
