Hippocampal Atrophy
I have just received the results of my MRi from Kings this morning and I am afraid it is bad news. I have finally had a definitive diagnosis of Hippocampal Atrophy, a type of progressive and untreatable neurological disorder. However the symptoms fit the disorder like a glove, long and short term memory loss, loss of spacial navigation ie getting lost even in familiar places, loss of recall, amnesia and cognition disorders. So, a bit to process here but I had my suspicions, I have an appointment at Kings in April and have been referred to a dementia/memory clinic automatically. On the up-side if there is an up-side to all this, my critical illness cover will kick in!
