Diandra, I am sorry to read about your mother. Please don't hesitate to get in touch by PM if you would like somebody who has been where you are to listen to you.

Now, coming back to the theme of this discussion, I can think of circumstances where a differential diagnosis (AD vs something else) could be helpful. If it is "something else" then effective treatments may be available.

Other contributors have mentioned Namenda and Aricept - my m-i-l was offered both of them. My wife, using her enduring power of attorney status, refused. She checked with me first - their effects are at best marginal (day job skills investigation) though no doubt they are sources of income for the drug companies who sell them.
