A grandad thought he had dementia after falling off a ladder, but later found out he had a treatable condition.
Doug Jones, from Heswall, started to experience symptoms such forgetfulness, acting out of character and sleeping more than usual, which can be signs of dementia. The 80-year-old was referred to The Walton Centre for tests.
It was there a specialist discovered Doug had Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) – a completely treatable condition. NPH is an often unrecognised and misunderstood condition that mostly affects people over the age of 60.
