My mother was referred for an appointment at the memory clinic who called her to arrange an appointment and she told them she didn't need one. We are now being told that the GP has to refer her for another appointment which could take up to 3 months. I'm just wondering if it is worthwhile or even possible to organise an appointment privately? I have heard that there are things that can be done to arrest further memory loss but nothing to regain what has already been lost so anxious to get this seen to asap. The main area we have noticed she is struggling is finding the right word. She knows what she wants to say but in almost every sentence there will be a word that she cannot find or she sometimes says the wrong word. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
