Hello! I'm 68 years old, and my 39 year old son has been diagnosed with both of these diseases for about 5 years now. The genetic dominant was gotten from his father--who was never formally diagnosed.
David has the calcium on the brain, several types of seizures, paranoid schizophrenia, MS type symptoms with shaking and twitching, along with vision problems and hearing disorders, and dental problems.
He also has experienced a lowering of IQ in the last years, and he is deteriorating. I want to find out if anybody on this forum knows anyone who can perform neuropsych testing to determine IQ, cognition, and memory? If something were to happen to me, he needs something in writing to qualify him for government programs that can help him. He's falling through the cracks right now.
I live within driving distance of Charleston, SC. He is on medicaid and SSI.
ANYBODY know someone? I'm at my wit's end!
