Vitamin K imbalance? Vitamin K increases brain sulfonamides. Parkinsons patients have too much brain sulfonamides, but Alzheimers patients show theirs is depleted.

Everything I read about an Alzheimer diagnosis, could only be exclusively concluded based on an autopsy of the brain. The only tools doctors can go by is based on a person's diminished capacity and autopsy results based on a deceased patients medical history.

I see you work in a rural area. Have you been checked for parasites? Have you been checked for organophosphate exposure? Think outside the box.

Aw, Doc...no need to feel guilty about being a puzzle patient, though as one myself, with several patients I take care of still undiagnosed, I sure understand that! Autoimmune disease been looked at? Any kind of infection you have anywhere? Some of the seronegative sponyloarthropathies in particular can have brain effects that might make you feel fuzzy and unreal rather than being profoundly impaired, without a lot of trouble elsewhere, and would not show up as anything localized on a PET scan. "Gluten ataxia" is a real syndrome that could do that too. I have a few mystery patients like this with normal MRIs and can't seem to get one of them who really wants a better answer an fMRI . Inflammation does funny things to the brain as we get older and might be treatable.

I enjoy reading your thoughts and progressions through you battle of life.
I believe we should not separate our emotional self and physical self. each is just a different function of our brains,both are needed for our existence. It is easy to see the results of an infection not so easy when we are talking about changes in how we perceive the world around us.You have symptoms which currently can not be explained not are the limitations your body has set up easy to explain. The best thing each of can do is continue, live to be best each of us can share our experiences . Doctors do not know every thing and tests are not always conclusive.Each of us knows our body better than any one else and it is through this lens we ask others to try to understand our limits, pains etc. Keep sharing with the rest of us your thoughts and feelings as you continue through your life.
