December 3rd will mark the 5th anniversary of “official” diagnosis. I have been searching for answers, when did all this begin?
The first time I knew “something” was wrong, December 2000! No clue what was happening.
We floundered around til 2003. Life was slowly disintegrating before my eyes and I insisted on testing. For what, I didn’t know, just knew something had to be done.
So if certain things manifested themselves at the end of 2000, when/how long had the storm been brewing?

I wish I knew the answer. I will ask my neighbor’s daughter. Her mother started showing signs of it in her late 40′s, but I don’t know how long they saw changes before they had her tested.
Probably for several years before–that’s what I gleaned when I read like crazy with my MIL. When we finally had her tested, and got the confirmed diagnosis of AD, we could look back on weird quirky things that had been happening for several years, and say–OH.
From my only point my reference…which is my MIL…she was doing quirky things twelve years ago..took about six years or so before it got to the point it was diagnosed. She is eighty four now. Looking back on one incident..we too say OH. So, sorry the anniversary is this time of year…makes it a little harder if that is possible. Praying for you.
Sounds similar to our story. Around about 2000, we knew something was wrong. Hubby was out of energy. And was losing interest in life. Weird.
Was diagnosed in 2002. This is not a fun journey.
Sending you cyberhugs.
