Six months later, I was dx with mild cognitive impairment and then at my last visit this week the neurologist is working me up for early onset Alzheimer's. I have memory, language recall and emotional problems. I have no Alzheimers in my family history. What tests should I get to distinguish from the two? I am confused by this diagnosis and her beleiif that I have a degeneration of the brain based on missing two questions math and memory. Thanks for your help and insight.
