Default Concerned concussions dementia risk

I'm getting concerned about the research connecting TBI's to Alzheimer's disease. I'm a 50 year old female who has sustained 2 mild TBI's (no post concussion syndrome) within the last 4 years, the most recent in September, 2013. I lost consciousness for few seconds each time. I fell in the bathroom from, what I now know was contraindicated meds for migraine. I'm very angry with my physicians for not taking my concussions seriously. I went to ER for both concussions, MRI's were normal, yet I know now that MRI's are not conclusive. I had no f/u with a neurologist. I've been reading about recent research connecting just a momentary loss of consciousness from 1 concussion to increased risk of Alzheimers.

Any thoughts?

I appreciate any words of wisdom. I'm quite distressed.
