Synopsis

I did not care about the gift, the cake, balloons, or money in a card. I just wanted to hear "Happy Birthday, my darling," from my mother.

Who the Hell Are You? Alzheimer's the Wrong Diagnosis, is the true story of my mother's battle with Hydrocephalus. Initially diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, it was only when her condition worsened and we sought a second opinion, that the true extent of her illness was revealed.

• What were her symptoms?
• Why was a "telltale" sign overlooked? 
• Could YOUR loved one be suffering from Hydrocephalus?  

I hope that by sharing our experience, other families will be spared the heartbreak of losing a loved one to this frequently misunderstood disease. Unlike Alzheimer's when diagnosed early, Hydrocephalus is treatable with a good chance of recovery.

About this title

From the Author:

Losing my mother to the wrong diagnosis was the most difficult time in my life. I hope this short story will help enlighten and educate about a condition that is similar to Alzheimer's but unlike Alzheimer's, if found in time, is treatable with a good outcome.

From the Inside Flap:

Prologue
   
     For some time, my mother was not herself and initially diagnosed with Alzheimer's.The medications given to treat this condition did not help. And by the time a second opinion brought news with what was wrong,  it was too late to save her. Tragically, she died.
 
      I hope by telling this true story, "Who the Hell Are You: Alzheimer's the Wrong Diagnosis," it will help people identify symptoms of a condition that is similar to Alzheimer's, but, unlike Alzheimer's, if found in time--is treatable with a good outcome.
